Zade is 2

We had a little get together to celebrate Zade turning 2.  I don't like to call them birthday parties when they are this young because I don't want people to think they have to bring a gift and I want to keep it simple.  It's really just a good excuse to have lots of friends over at the same time, a big play date for the kids and an excuse to make and eat cake.  That's the biggest reason really.

Zade got his present from us when he got up Saturday morning- a bubble blowing lawn mower.  Both he and Dace are really into bubbles these days and they loved their new toy.  You could tell Zade knew it was a different kind of day.  He was really excited and would not go down for a nap.  After 4 attempts, we gave in and let the birthday boy stay up.  He was waiting for his friends to show up.  When Dallin started blowing up balloons, both boys started bouncing off the walls and they didn't stop til the last kid left.  I think they had about 10 friends show up plus parents.   The cake was a hit, the kids were loud and crazy and the birthday boy had a blast being the center of attention.  He got a few different bubble gifts which they are enjoying.  Happy Birthday, Zay-Zay.  We love you!

Happy Birthday, Dear Zade.....

Thanks for an awesome cake, Mama!
