If you ask Austin how old he is, he will respond in the cutest little happy voice, "I'm two!" as he tries to figure out how to hold only two fingers up at once on one hand. It's adorable. It's amazing that our little boy is already two. Can two years have already passed since the day he was born? It doesn't seem possible, and yet, it's hard to remember life without him. My cousin once told me that with motherhood "The days are long, but the years are short." I couldn't agree more.
Austin's birthday was actually yesterday, but we wanted to have time to have a little party for him so we waited to celebrate until today. Grandma Lisa came out from CA, and my sister and her family came out too. We had a special birthday lunch together of what we think is Austin's favorite food - baked potato soup - which we served in bread bowls, with veggies on the side and juice to drink. Austin loves juice, we don't have it often so when we do it is a special treat for him.
Here he is enjoying his birthday meal. :)
He then opened presents. He got many wonderful gifts and was almost too excited with each to even want to think about opening the next. His favorite gift was probably his Trike. He loves it! He just can't quite reach the pedals yet.
I made an Elmo cake for Austin. Three dimensional with cakepops for the eyes and nose so it is all edible. The cake was a doctored up chocolate cake mix with a coconut-cream cheese frosting. Cute and yummy!
Make a wish!
Hello, Elmo!
Austin loves birthday cake! Daddy bought raspberry sherbert to have with it. It was delicious!
Of course Kaylee & Lyla were hanging out together. They matched without even trying. Cute, I know. :)
