Not a baby anymore.

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY HUNTER!!!

I cannot believe that my little baby is two years old today! I can't call him a baby anymore, he is a big boy now! It is just so hard to believe that is has been two years already and that he will be a big brother in June! What an exciting time for him and us!

We had a great time at Hunter's birthday party yesterday and he did too! It was a blast! Everyone that was able to make it had fun too! The kids loved playing at Funtastic and they even all sat down for a group picture! This completely amazed me - how on earth did a bunch of toddlers sit still for pictures without any crying or protesting? I will still never understand! I guess they are all growing up right before our eyes! Hunter also loved his pizza party and Thomas cake that Funtastic provided for everyone too! He sat at the table with the other 15 kids just like a big boy and never got out of his chair once. That amazed me too! He loved being sang to and blowing out his candles. In fact he enjoyed blowing out his candles so much that he did it about 6 times before the "Happy Birthday" song was over! It was really cute! After pizza and cake the kids got some more play time and the adults were able to relax and talk. That was wonderful too! At the end the kids all got a balloon with a goodie bag and we took Hunter's presents home to open later. This way the kids all got as much play time as possible instead of watching Hunter open all his presents. This made everyone happy. After the party MeeMaw, Papa, Aunt Erin, Uncle Marius, Aunt Mel, Uncle Chris, Caleb and Michael all came back to our house to continue to celebrate. Some watched the remainder of the Red Wing's hockey game and the rest of us were able to talk while the three kids all played. By the time everyone left Hunter was tuckered out big time! He had some dinner and then we opened his presents and he was in heaven with all the matchbox cars he got! He got about 2 dozen or so. I will have lots of cars to pick up each and every day now. He also got lots of other cool new toys and he is currently playing with them out in the great room and I know this because I can hear Thomas' whistle blowing right now! Overall, Hunter had a great birthday celebration yesterday and we are going to have a wonderful birthday with him today! We are planning on taking him up to see his MeeMaw and Papa after his nap to have dinner and some more cake and to play with some new toys! What a great birthday weekend for our little man!!!

We want to thank everyone who made this weekend extra special for us and Hunter! We love you all and are happy to call you family and friends!
