The BIG day!

About 2 months ago we asked Blake if he wanted a birthday party (I know, what 2 year old is going to refuse a party). When he said yes we asked him who he wanted to come to his party. His first answer was "Donald." I was slightly confused for a minute because my Dad's name is Donald. I thought to myself, surely he doesn't know his real name. So I asked Blake if there was anyone else he wanted to come. He then went on to say "yeah, Goofy too!" Ah ha! Thus began our planning of the BIG Mickey Mouse Birthday Party! Blake wanted a Mickey cake (he actually wanted 2 cakes, but I had to put the kabosh on that request) and Mickey balloons.

So, Saturday was the BIG day and what fun we had. Everyone we invited came so it was really fun to see Blake and all his best buds - Chloe, Aleksandra, Abby, Jonny, Devon, Kedar, Brandon & Nick. We played parachute, tunnel, water colors, ate cake and mostly squealed and ran around for about an hour and a half. The kids all got along so well. It was so hard to look at this little group and not remember when they were all little babies in the Step by Step Infant Room!

We were also so lucky to have Mammaw come up to visit and come to the party. Here are a few fun picks of the day. There will most likely be more to come...our good friend Liz played photographer while we stayed busy entertaining.

A quick family picture!
