Celebrate Good Times

Today is my Anthony's second birthday, and our celebrations began quite early.  Anthony woke up, as always, around six this morning, so we were able to open a few presents and spend time with Daddy before he left for work.

One present we got Anthony was an art box full of paints, crayons, playdough, and paper, and we were creating masterpieces before seven this morning.

We had a quiet day at home, as we prepared for our "Tractor Party."  Grandma, Grandpa, and GG came over early to help us get ready.  Daddy bought Anthony his first baseball mitt, so he and GG spent some time in the yard playing catch.

Anthony loves helping out with the yard work, so Grandma and Grandpa bought him his very own weed wacker and leaf blower, just like his daddy's.  He was so excited to open this gift!

Once all of his aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents arrived we got the "tractor" birthday cake all ready for Anthony to blow out his candles.  We practiced this a few hours earlier, so he was all set to go.

Anthony was a lucky boy, and was spoiled rotten by his entire family.  He got cars and balls and drums and books, but his favorite gift (at least for the moment) seems to be the guitar his Uncle David, Aunt Rachel, and Cousin Joe got for him. 

Our special little guy turned two years old today, and we were blessed to have all of our friends and family share in our celebration.

Happy Birthday Anthony!
