BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!

yes yes yes - I'm behind - but 'tis the season..

here goes

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!

we went to kid junction for boy's birthday party...

boy romped as a birthday boy should

(with frankie... you can see his paws peeking into the background of the picture)

girl was sure to get all queen'ed up

JD played with the gigumbus lightbright

boy made some katsup sandwiches

while Emily made a mustard casserole

"yeah yeah - I'm two - now let me cook"

After MUCH hard work - we finally got boy to acknowledge his proper age..

**Note - we tried everything!!!!

"when you're two - your fingers are like scissors"

"when you're two - your fingers are like dinosaur feet"

who knows what finally made it set it.. but it did!!

pizza twins

pizza princess

pizza Nick

pizza birthday boy

birthday boy wasn't too pleased to sit in the birthday chair... but we finally got him in there

I guess I should be prepared for an entire year of resistance

Nanny & Mommy

Mommy & Grammie & Auntie Denise

pizza Chavezes

you would think the birthday boy would be loving his pizza...

or loving the birthday chair...

or loving his birthday cake...

Honestly - you would think the kid never had apple juice before

there are more pictures of the bottom of a cup - than there are of him

"here comes the cake - let me move that..."

"DON'T TOUCH MY JUICE"

Dan's overall opinion of children & thier sticky fingers cannot be hidden

cake time = terror time

once the singing stops..

cake boys

one more of Lisa & Nick

and one last trip to the food store before we left...

Thanksgiving Residuals & the BIRTHDAY BOY

~Back to Thanksgiving~

Anna couldn't have been happier than she was hanging out with the big kids!!

because she's just too delicious

boy was happy to hang out with the squirrel

BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!

We got to kid junction -and everyone immediately puts on an outfit

boy's doesn't last long, due to excessive running & sweating
girl, on the other hand, stays in her princess duds as long as possible

the full caboodle

(hands on hips sold seperately)

momma & the birthday boy

momma & the pickle princess

boy and the biggest legos ever

(notice the state of overheat)

a quick game of whack-a-shark before we leave

on tippy toes...

Boy has been asking to go to Top o'th Hill everytime we pass it

so I figured it would be a nice birthday treat

all went well until Jimmy brought the cake out

that's when boy tried to hide

Shy Boy

quick peek to make sure we didn't take the cake away

then blowing the candles out

granted, this chocolate disaster was not my first choice for an end-of-the-night / late-night-out-treat

but they absolutely loved it

(cat included)

the whole fam

ideally, it would have been: backpacks on, straight home, straight to bed...

but sadly- it didn't happen like that

they had to burn a little cake off first...

and when boy climbed me... I knew it was going to be a late night
