Elliott's 2!

Friday, my sweet Elliott turned 2. My baby is growing up and I love to watch who he is becoming! We had a small "family" party and it was a great day. The theme was firetrucks which I enjoyed doing little details to make it all come together. My hat is off to you moms who can pull off huge birthday parties for your little ones. We were all exhausted yesterday and literally laid around all day recovering! :) Maybe it gets easier as the older they get. Somehow I am doubting it! Ok- onto a million pictures!

He's ready for the big party. First we started with presents. I only get our boys one thing because they get PLENTY from everyone else. Jerel and I are going to clean out/ organize the play room this weekend.

 Sweet Annie and Emma Kate

 Nolan was a excellent big brother and a huge help with the presents

 A fire truck- of course!

 Nolan gave him binoculars and Elliott loves them. Notice how they are backwards and up side down. I am pretty sure that is how he will always use them. That's just how Elliott rolls! 

My mom sent him a huge Richard Scarry book that both of the boys LOVE. They are actually looking at it right now as I am doing this!

Next we moved outside to smack around a pinata. That was one stubborn bull!

 We had to bring in adult male reinforcements!

Us-1, Bull-0!

Then we came in to eat yummy Gumbo- no pictures included and had cake.

 So...the cake. Cute, right? I ordered the topper off of etsy about a month ago. I got it on Tuesday with his name spelled wrong. I was sad and the lady who made it was so sad that she made a mistake. She was going to overnight me another T but I decided that it would just look silly, so she refunded me the price and gave me credit for another free one whenever I want to use it. She was so nice about the whole thing. Now it's just a funny story! :)

 He loved being sung to.

 I made Fire truck cookies as party favors. They turned out fairly cute but were a major labor of love!

We love you buddy and hope you had a great birthday!!
