My 2 Year Old in a Nutshell!

Michael's 2nd Birthday!

Michael turned 2 on December 20th! We had a John Deere themed Birthday Party for him with all of our family, friends, and church buddies! The party was a little stressful to plan, but well worth it in the end. We ended up having a bigger party than what we thought would turn out, but we were so thankful to have everone there and celebrating together. Michael really had a great time being the center of attention. I think his favorite parts were everyone singing and blowing out the candles (which he did very well at), riding his new Gator, and just being able to play with all of his friends. By the time we got him home he was a wild man. The party was over, but he was not even close to stopping!

I just wanted to thank everyone who was able to make it. I know this time of year is so busy and it's so hard to add one more thing to our already hectic schedules. Michael truely had the best birthday any little boy could ask for because we have such great families and friends supporting us and playing such major roles in Michael's life. Thank you so much! For those of you that weren't able to make it...sorry you missed out on all the fun, but we hope you enjoyed whatever you were doing! We love all of you and thank you again for such a great day!

Merry Christmas!
