Brett Had a Birthday, Shout Hooray!

I have been really excited about celebrating Brett’s second birthday. He is really starting to understand gifts and parties so I knew it would be a fun day. I was even more excited when I found out Sean would have the day off and that we would be visiting lots of family that day. We decorated the night before so that as soon as he woke up we could start the birthday fun. We put up streamers, a banner, and balloons (only the wrapped gifts were Brett’s, all the other things were just toys the boys had been playing with at Grandma and Grandpa’s house).

Brett, Kaden, and Lexi were all thrilled with the fun decorations and balloons!

In my family we always opened some gifts right when we woke up on our birthday so I wanted Brett to open a gift in the morning. Sean and I got him 3 gifts and I was a little bit excited to give them to him. When he sat down in Sean’s lap to open this gift we were telling him it was a birthday present. He started putting his arms in the air like Sean and yelling “Birthday!!” It was super cute! He did great opening the gift which was 4 new Cars 2 books=)

We decided to go bowling and it was a hit with everyone!

Brett would hang from the ramp like this while he was waiting to see how many pins his ball would knock down.

We had quesadillas for lunch which is one of Brett’s favorite meals. While Brett took a nap, I decorated his cake. I chose to do really yummy cream cheese frosting which meant the decor looked a little less nice. I think his cake turned out cute though and he LOVED it!

We started the party by opening presents. Brett was spoiled beyond measure. He got a water wow coloring book from Brandon and Michal, some new duplos blocks from Kaden and Lexi, new car pajamas from Neil and Rebecca, a firetruck Mater and Lincoln Logs from Papa and Mimi P, and a guitar, books, and new train set from Sean and I. It was a huge haul!

We had yummy pizza for dinner-another of Brett’s favorites! Then we blew out candles and ate the delicious cake. It was a great birthday celebration! I can’t believe my baby turned 2!
