Caleb's 2nd Birthday!

Well, as you can see we are nearly a month late with this post...I lost our camera for a couple of weeks...

Anyways, We had a small birthday party for Caleb on Sunday April 27th. We were so happy to see most of Caleb's family could be there. The theme was "animals" because Caleb loves animals right now. People started arriving around 3:00 and stayed until almost 7:00. Caleb was just waking up from his nap when the first guests arrived. It took him a little bit to adjust to everybody at our house, but by the time cousin Landon arrived the two of them were on the move!

We enjoyed snacks and conversations, and then Caleb opened up his presents. He got so many wonderful new gifts: a tricycle, an outside playhouse, a lawnmower, lots of animals, a play-dough set, bath drums, a Thomas the train set, and money that we plan to use to buy a wagon for Caleb.

Next we sang Happy Birthday to Caleb and watched as he and Landon tried to blow out the candles. (Too cute!) Then we enjoyed supper together of smoked pork sandwiches, chips, fruit, pasta salad, Vienna bread, and "dirt" salad. The night wound down as everyone enjoyed cupcakes.... except Caleb. I realized this the next day that we had neglected to give Caleb a cupcake! Oops! At least he got to enjoy one the night before...

Thanks to everyone who shared in Caleb's 2nd birthday! We are always happy to spend time together with family!
