Happy 2nd Birthday William

Family, friends, fun, food, balloons, presents, cake, what more could a two year old ask for?

We had a great birthday weekend. Amppa and Amma S came in on Thursday, Amppa Mc came on Friday and William enjoyed entertaining us all. William just couldn't get over having two Grandpas in the house at once and frequently told us about the two Amppas when ever they were in the same room together.

Hanging out on Saturday before the party.

It took farm themed balloons for Grandpa S to clue into the theme, guess he didn't look at the invitation card :) The balloons were a big hit with William and with Max and Maya. Thankfully I got three clumps one for each 2 year old.

The cake.
William's big present from Mom and Dad, a play house just for him. We found it on sale at the end of summer, and we have been putting parts together since then. Glad we did that, as it took us most of the morning to get the thing assembled. So many of the holes didn't line up and with a two year old grabbing washers and bolts at random, I got a bit rattled part way through (which is out of character for me). But it came together and hopefully it will stay together.

Finishing touch, the roof!

Ta-Da!

William playing on the train table that Grandpa Mc built, he even made cute little houses for the cars and train tunnels, as well as roll out storage on the bottom. Thanks Grandpa!

William's Clubhouse, enter only with permission :)
I let Melissa and the Grandparents take the pictures, which is a nice break for me, and allows me to enjoy the party. I promise to share some good ones that Melissa took as soon as I get them (sorry for the red eye, couldn't get it to correct on all).

Hard to say who is having more fun with all the new toys, William or Mom and Dad?
Thanks to every one for the clothes, books, games, and toys, we have plenty to keep us busy for a while (well at least till Christmas). And thanks to those that attended Will's party, it was great to have you help us celebrate our little man's 2nd birthday.

I can't believe my little buddy is two years old. All weekend long we kept remembering where we were two years ago and all that has happened since. We are so blessed to have this little guy in our lives, he is a constant joy and it so fun to watch learn and grow. We couldn't ask for a better son, William we love you tons! Happy 2nd Birthday and we look forward to much more fun to come!
