Liam's 2nd Birthday!

Today was Liam's birthday. We had fun family day together to celebrate. We were so grateful that Grammy was able to visit during Liam's birthday. She flew from TN to spend the day with Liam and he loved having his Grammy here. It was a very special day for me too because I was Baptized at church in the morning. We then took Liam out for a birthday lunch at our favorite restaurants call the Buddy's Backyard BBQ. We ate outside on the big deck and Liam enjoyed playing at their playground. We came home and Liam took a long nap. He had lots of fun the day before at his party but he was very tired. We had dinner and birthday cake when we sang Happy Birthday to Liam and let him open presents from his family. He received such wonderful birthday presents. One gift he really loved was from his great Aunt Bonnie. She sent him some very cool crayola beginners markers and books that he absolutely LOVED. It was a special evening and we are so blessed to have a wonderful little man to call our own. We're absolutely amazed of all he's accomplished this past year and can't wait to see what's to come this year!

Let's Party I'm Two!


Today was Liam's 2nd Birthday Party! He had a blast! Thanks to so many of his friends that came out to celebrate his big day. We were also so happy that Liam's Grammy flew in from TN to attend his party.
The party was held at 10 a.m. at Landa Park. Liam enjoyed sharing the spotlight with his girlfriend Reagan who also was turning 2. Her birthday was  on the 27th. We had a jack and Jill kind of party together. I highly recommend this idea for kids this age. They don't mind sharing their day and it made it so much easier planning etc. It's also easier on the guests who would attend both parties they just come to one big party instead.
The theme was a beach/summer party. With the summer soon coming to an end and the kids going back to school, we thought it would be great to have one last summer party! Each guest had a sand bucket filled with goodies like bubbles, gummy fishies, beach theme stickers, a sticker theme, mini beach ball etc. We had fun games like a scavenger where the kids had to find sea animals and put them in their bucket. We also had a stickers for them to decorate their sand buckets, and the most fun was the parachute which the kids absolutely loved tossing the mini beach balls up and down on the parachute. The weather was perfect! The kids enjoyed playing on the playground nearby too.  Liam was blessed with so many gifts from cars & trucks, crayons, paints, balls, he really got spoiled by his friends this year. Liam enjoyed the party but got overwhelmed at times with all the people we did have quiet a crowd. All around it was a special day for both Liam & Reagan.
