Happy Second Birthday, Vance!

Okay so the pictures are all messed up as far as the time line is concerned. So I'll try and keep it straight. Of course again, it was a three day extravaganza- starting with playdate on Friday, Chuck E. Cheese with Pa and Nama, and then the actual Birthday on Sunday.

Actual Birthday

Saturday Night

Keeping the tradition, this was the first year Vance got to help make his cake.
Decorating the cake with sprinkles. He picked Orange as the frosting color."It's my party and I'll cry if I want to."

Happy Birthday, with Pa!

Friday Night
Nama and Pa found this pinata and thought of Vance. We had volleyball with some of the adults at church Friday night and brought it to entertain the kids. It was pretty fun.
One thing I didn't get a picture of was the cookies we took to the swimming playdate Friday morning. But it was a fun start to the birthday extravaganza.

Sunday Night

So one of our new neighbors has one of these mini trampolines.
Knowing how much the boys LOVE jumping I knew what Vance should get for his birthday.
Joel was just as excited for the trampoline as Vance.

Pa bought him a view finder, he LOVES it.

Vance was a lot more excited about his cake Sunday night.


So we are done with the birthday extravaganzas for this year. Well we still have Pa's birthday in December but it's awhile away still. I have plenty of time to recoup from too much birthday. And next year we're topping out on 2 days worth of birthday, that's it!
