And Davis is Two!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAVIS!!! Yesterday was Davis' birthday. We had a little party for him at our favorite park. The weather was perfect. Mid-seventies in the sun and a little cooler in the shade. The party was from 10-12.
Last weekend we had taken Davis to Target and perused the toy aisles. We listened to his desires and snuck a few things in the cart. We also let him pick a theme for his birthday. He chose Elmo. We invited two of Davis' friends and they both accepted. I ordered a cheese and fruit platter from the grocery store and bought ingredients for homemade banana cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. The night before the party was like Christmas Eve. We put the kids to bed and Michael began assembling the Bike that my parents had sent. I made the cupcakes and wrapped the other presents. So fun.
Then yesterday we got up and sang to Davis and made his favorite breakfast, waffle. We had a special surprise when Mom and Dad SKYPED us. Yup. They finally got skype and Davis got to say hi to them and to his cousin Kade. Then we loaded up and went to the park. Davis was so happy to be at the park and see all of his friends there. We were lucky enough to have the whole picnic area to ourselves and we set up there. Davis LOVED his bike and hasn't gotten off of it yet. He also loved all his presents and getting to play with his friends. He liked the cupcakes once I took the frosting off. He just doesn't like things that are too sweet.
He had a long nap after his party and a nice afternoon with his dad who didn't leave to study at all! Then he got to chat with his other grandparents over dinner on Skype and play chase around the house. I think he had a pretty good birthday.
The pictures of his party are up on Skype. I wish you all could have been there. I'm so proud of this little boy. He's growing up so strong and beautiful and has such a good heart. I'm so lucky and I love him so much. Cheers!
