Landon's 2nd Birthday

Can you believe my baby turned two over a week ago? I sure can't but I have to say we have had a wonderful two years with the little guy and can't imagine what we did without him. Since Landon got a lot of his brothers hand me down toys and the fact that his birthday is so close to Christmas; we decided to combine his big Christmas & Birthday present and get him something he could enjoy for a couple of years. Landon loves driving his brothers jeep and when he was about 18 months old he started driving a 4-wheeler, just like this one, that one of his friends owns. We could not believe that such a little guy just hopped right on and took off!! I think Landon and Lucas both like the new 4-wheeler.

We celebrated Landon's 2nd Birthday by having a party with friends and family at the house. Lucas and Landon loved helping me decorate with streamers and Elmo themed decorations. I made a big pot of Tortilla Soup and brownies to go along with the Elmo cake. Landon was so excited and every time he heard the door bell ring he ran to greet his guests.

Big Brother Lucas enjoying some chicken and beans from the tortilla soup (and yes he had a big ol' pile of dip). ;)
Like his brother, Landon likes things separate on his plate - for example - meat, cheese, beans and dip. Needless to say.... neither one is a big fan of casseroles or lasagna. :(

The birthday boy in all his glory.

Gracie Armstong befriends Jack Turvey but don't worry she is still Landon's #1 girlfriend.

Not the best picture ever but a great story. Mia is a cute little 4 year old who took an immediate liking to Papa Joe. She sat downstairs by him watching Monsters vs. Aliens. When he went upstairs she followed him and kept saying 'Let's go back downstairs and watch the movie'. Papa Joe really got a kick out of her. I am just jealous because she spoke more to him in one evening than she ever has to me.

Sarah getting her baby fix with adorable little Maggie - who was wearing the cutest little party dress. Landon used to get jealous when I would hold baby Maggie or baby Deja but he is getting better.

Baby Deja with her mommy Angi.


Steve had to get his baby fix as well. jk Maggie is such a good baby no matter who is holding her. ;)

Cake Time!!
He just looked around in awe as we all sang Happy Birthday the first and the second time. Our friend Mia was downstairs with Papa and missed the first rendition and so we sang it again so she could join us. When it came time to open the presents Landon knew exactly what to do.......

Sean and Sam goofin' around.

Mia, Angi & Sam - who had those binoculars on his eyes most of the night. I must remember to ask his mom if he has a pair. ;) We had such a wonderful time with family and friends and appreciate each and every one of you for helping us celebrate such an important day.

Landon's actual birthday was Sunday the day after his party and so he got to hang out all day and play with his new toys. He also got to wear his special shirt that his brother got him for his birthday.
Lucas got to pick out his own clothes.........
