Junior Turn 2!

Well it's official I guess.  No more babies in my house.  Junior turned 2 today!  What a big boy he has become.  Last night after the kids went to bed I wrapped his presents and blew up a few balloons and decorated the house with streamers and Mickey Mouse decorations.  He was so happy this morning when he woke up and saw everything.  I had one present out on the table for him to open right away.  I love birthdays.  I think that everyone should be #1 on their birthday and it should be an "all about you day".
Even with all the playing we still managed to all make it out of the house to get to daycare and work on time.  I have been in training at work this week; I was so happy when the daycare sent me a text right before lunch and said that Junior must know that it is his birthday today because he's been all smiles and super happy.  I love that, that's exactly how I wanted it to be.

I rushed to the store after training to pick up a cake (no, I did not have time to make my own and probably wouldn't have tried if I did!) and rushed home.  We had such a great night.  We all ate on our Mickey Mouse plates and drank out of Mickey Mouse cups.  I bought a helium tank and we blew up a ton of balloons for the kids to play with.  A lot of the balloons ended up on the ceiling, but that just made the house more festive.  We sang Happy Birthday to Junior and he blew out his candles and then said "Again, again", so we did it again.  I don't think he ate any of his cake, but he did have 2 servings of ice cream.  After supper, cake and ice cream we headed downstairs where I had stashed the presents so he wouldn't tear into them without me home.  He was so excited - "Presents, presents".  He ripped into to each one and of course immediately wanted them out of the box to play with.
It really was such a good night and Katelynn did pretty well with all of it too because it wasn't an "all about her day".
Here are a few pictures of our morning and night!
