Happy 2nd Birthday Connor!

Connor's birthday theme this year was a sports party.  I borrowed some cute baseball stuff from Cara ( this post is for you by the way...you better be happy I'm posting this!  :)) and I had Soccer ball invited ( I got them on a great deal at Target) and we had his new soccer net and ball set up from Yaya and Oso and his new T-ball and his basketball and tons of balls out for the kids to play with.  We gave the kids bouncy balls and whistles that were either soccer balls, baseballs or basketballs.  Connor also wore his super cute Nike baseball outfit.  He even had a baseball cake that I think turned out pretty cute!  And we ate hotdogs, because that is what you have a sporting events, duh!

Here is Connor blowing out the candles....it was a little windy, so the wind kinda helped!  We got some cool crazy swirled candles too.

Here is a close up of the cake before we blew out the candles.

Here I am opening the presents because Connor didn't want to help...the other kids were practically pushing me over to help though!  He had Cole and Stella Jarvis, Soren Logsdon, Grace Hobson, and Jill (our neighbor's) neices there....quite the little group!

We opened this present first and he didn't want anything to do with the other presents.  He tried to open it outside and I told him we could do it inside later, so he went inside and wouldn't come back out.  We finally drug him out screaming after the present were all opened.

This is on Sunday...his actual birthday opening our presents. (btw, I don't know why it is all underlined now and keeps changing colors....i can't get it to go away!)  But, he is actually having fun opening his first present, which is a Thomas the train case for his take along cars.


Here he is opening the station that he got.....

This is Sunday night....we let him blow out the candles on his cake again.  We didn't eat the cake on Saturday because we had plenty of cupcakes!  Connor had so much fun blowing out the candles that we probably lit them at least 10 times!  We lit them so much that the candles all melted!  He likes to eat the frosting....I made it too!  It was good!

Happy Birthday CJ!  I love you so much and can't believe that 2 years ago you were sent to us! You really do bring so much joy and love to our home!  I love being your mommy and think that you are the best big boy ever!
