Our littlest man turned two last week --- TWO! We spent his actual birthday together, hanging out and had a small, low-key get-together last Saturday. Happy Birthday, Ellis!
His morning began with the traditional breakfast --- cinnamon rolls in the shape of a "2"!
Apparently, Ellis was upset that I hadn't started decorating for his party yet, so he took it upon himself to begin the process...
Headed for birthday lunch, indoor playground time, and ice cream at Chick-Fil-A...
Yummy!
Such a cutie...
Wednesday night we had a pasta dish for summer (Ellis LOVES noodles) and finished our family meal off with some Mickey Mouse brownie cupcakes...
After we sang Happy Birthday to Ellis, RF reached over and said, "Happy Birthday, little brother. Happy Birthday." Heart. Melting. Into. A. Puddle. All. Over. The. Floor.
Cheesing it up for the camera --- COVERED in cupcake...
Saturday afternoon we hosted a small get-together for family and a few friends.
Nana and Babu got Ellis's slide set up...notice that cute shirt? TWO spelled out in Mickey Mouse fabric --- MOMFAIL - it lasted all of about 5 minutes before the letters started peeling off. Not sure what I did wrong, but it was cute while it lasted...
This kid LOVES his sandbox...
Time to eat! The banner is the only crafty thing I make for birthday parties --- turned out pretty good, if I do say so myself...
Present time! Of course RF wanted to help, too.
A cool Mickey Mouse book and figurines from some friends...
And a GIANT Mickey Mouse from Meme...
A Melissa and Doug wooden school bus toy...
New shirts...
Fighting over, uh, I mean, playing with the new toys...
Motorized riding toy from Nana and Babu!
He LOVED it!
Taking Mickey Mouse for a spin...
Time for Happy Birthday and CAKE!
Chowing down...
An afternoon spin around the driveway...he definitely knows how to make it go, but he hasn't quite learned how to steer it...
And of course his big brother had to try it out, too...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELLIS! We love you so, so, so, so much!
