Two for Hayes!

I don't know how it happened, but our baby turned two today!   We're taking the boys to Great Wolf Lodge this year in lieu of separate birthday parties, but we still spent the day celebrating.  Hayes is wearing his "2" shirt that he painted yesterday.  He started the day with birthday waffles and then opening his gift from Grant, the Batman Jail.

 

We ran outside to check out the snow which magically fell all day long in some of the biggest snowflakes we've ever seen, but it never stuck.

 

Then Hayes got very into opening his present from Migi, the Toy Story dump.
 

Both boys were amazed by all of the things the dump could do:
 

Hayes is a bit obsessed with Charlie, so she made his day by stopping by for lunch and cupcakes.  Hayes puts his hands around his face like that when he is "yelling" for someone.
 

Our mini cupcakes:
 

Can you tell someone loves his big brother?  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?
 

Blowing out the candles:
 

A bit of bowling:
 

And we wrapped the day with a bit more unwrapping...

which included some baseball books for our future all-star...

 

And some stamping markers for big brother...
 

...which he was happy to share with the birthday boy...


And for the record, there were no naps today...or yesterday...we're hoping turning 2 doesn't mean the end of naps for this one!!
