William is officially 2 today!
Oh the excitement - I LOVE 2 year olds. They are my favorite!
We had such a fun day.
I didn't really know how fun a summer birthday could be.
William is the only one in our family with a summer birthday,
so the whole idea of being outside for a party was a novelty.
The kids blew many bubbles.
Or attempted many times to blow bubbles.
Wesley was very curious about them.
The only way I could get William away from the bubbles way to
bribe him with cake and ice cream.
The kids had a blast jumping on the new trampoline.
It was a present from Soungsik and I for Williams birthday,
but in truth we have wanted one for a long time and it
was a great way to kill 2 birds with one giant stone.
The manufacturer recommends only 1 child at a time.
Yeah right, like that's ever going to happen.
8 isn't that much more than 1 anyways!
Here are the girls playing
"Break the Aunt Erica" game!
None of them actually weigh enough to break anything.
You must have yummy food at a party.
(If you don't guests probably won't show up :))
Here's the boy table.
Nice hat Jee Hoon!
And the girl table.
Wait a minute.
One of these things doesn't look like the others,
one of these things doesn't belong.
William had a haul - literally - with his presents.
All of his toys had a transportation theme.
This was not planned.
Everyone just really knows William well!
Here's a train from his Noona (Big Sister).
Some kids just know how to go after it and get the job done.
Here's a Toy Story car from Jee Hoon.
He bought this with his own money,
what a sweet cousin!
He got some pool toy boats from Nathaniel & Jenny's family.
Those will be put to good use in the tub tomorrow morning!
William was getting frustrated with us because every time
he would open a present, we would take it away from him so that he could open the next one.
Leave it to Daniel & Erica's family to bring in the heavy machinery.
It makes noise and moves.
William loved it.
Wesley had to check it out too.
Grandma & Grandpa got William the all important
Tonka dump truck
A boy just wouldn't be a boy without one.
Well in our family anyways!
And a birthday wouldn't be a birthday without a cake.
Aren't I getting just slightly creative in my old age?
I wonder what his wish was?
It's exciting to think of the year ahead of us.
Soon he'll be talking and we'll know what's
going on inside that head of his.
William, we are so blessed to have you in our lives!
Happy Birthday big guy!
We love you!
