Celebrating Two!!

We had such a fun birthday with Landon! I still can't believe he is two!! Here he is doing his VERY favorite thing ... playing trains!!

What a little heartbreaker!
Love that cheesy grin!

We decided to do a family party this year. But we still celebrated in style! Our original plan was to do a Lighting McQueen party ... but about 2 weeks before his birthday he emphatically decided that Thomas the Train was the only kind of party he could have.

Kristen at Sage Digital Designs made his invitations. And then was nice enough to completely re-do them when he changed his mind about what he wanted :)! Aren't they adorable?!

We started with dinner ... soup, salad and rolls. Landon normally loves this, but he was way too excited to eat anything!

Then he wanted to get to those presents!! He loves to say "open it!" to everything! He got spoiled rotten. Last weekend Grandma and Papa Terry came up and gave him a car mat and new cars and planes for it! And an apron to help mom and dad in the kitchen (it's impossibly cute!).

Then Grandma & Papa Wuthrich, Ale and James stopped by on Saturday with new fish for his fish tank!

Then yesterday Grandma & Papa gave him a step stool for the bathroom. Ale and James picked him out a Lightning McQueen tent! Which we all had to try out :)! His favorite person to have in there is uncle James!

We had "aunt" Jacqueline and "uncle" Scott over as well. Landon is totally convinced they are related. They got him a really fun (read: loud) Elmo guitar. Landon LOVES it :)!He fancies himself quite the rock star!

Jeff and I got Landon an ocean toys set, Legos, a dump truck and a balance bike (and helmet). He loved everything ... except for the bike! His emotions have ranged from excited (it has a bell, folks) to totally terrified. I'm sure he'll come around eventually :)!

Excited!

Then we went back to the kitchen to sing and eat cake. Here's the cake table ... cake courtesy of Aunt Ale!! Landon was delighted by the cake and the fact that Thomas, Percy and James were hanging above his head!

He loved the candles SO much he had
to put an extra set of 2 in :)!

Landon was thrilled to be sung to and blew out the candles at least 4 or 5 times. He kept saying "more fire!" Which, naturally we couldn't resist ... so we kept lighting them and letting him blow them out!

We had such a fun day with Landon. We feel so lucky to have him as part of our family and can't imagine life without him. Happy Birthday Buddy!!
