Cole’s Birthday

Cole’s 2nd birthday was the 27th.  He got spoiled rotten, but had a great day!  He really got into the birthday thing and talked about his “happy birthday” and happy birthday presents” and “happy birthday balloons” all day long.  He probably would have been perfectly happy with a balloon bouquet, but he got lots of great presents.  I think the biggest hit was a Lightening McQueen car from Uncle Chris!

This boy loves trucks…anything with wheels really, so not surprisingly he got quite a few.

He is really into planes right now. He hears and sees them before I do and gets really excited.  So, we did a plane cake.  He thought it was wonderful. (And it came out of the pan on the first try! I only had to make one cake this time!)

We also went to Chuck E. Cheese’s for dinner, which the boys LOVE! Since it was a Thursday night, there was hardly anyone there. (which I loved!)

We sure love having Cole in our family!  He is such a tender heart and loves his brother and sister (he loves Annie so much I worry he will smother her with hugs one day).  He is smart and creative and extremely articulate for a 2 year old.  He loves animals, especially birds and really anything “up in the sky'”.  He is my little helper and especially loves putting things in the garbage.  (If he can’t get to the garbage, he thinks the washing machine is an acceptable alternative…I’ve found many dirty diapers in there!)  He is a joy to  have around and we can’t wait to see him continue to grow!  Happy Birthday, Cole!
