We know how to PARTY!!!!!!!!!

We had a small family party to celebrate our sweet Bubby turning 2!!! Of course, it was Elmo themed! :)

Here are the highlights from our big day:

The birthday boy welcoming his guests in his birthday outfit :)

Here's a closer look at his Elmo birthday shirt!  It turned out so cute!!!

Liam got into the Elmo theme too! He loves his Auntie Kristen!

An Elmo party wouldn't be complete without a Sesame Street Elmo cake! :)

PRESENT TIME!!! :)

Somebody got a little grumpy but cheered right up in his swaddle! LOL

Our party continued out side with Connor's birthday present from Momma and Daddy:

a sand box!!!

Tyler loved the sandbox!  Connor saw that the sandbox was red and had big white eyes so he kept pointing to it and saying, "ELMO!!!"  (It's actually a crab!) LOL :)

We also enjoyed the pool!!!  My little water baby is so cute!

After swimming we ate YUMMY Elmo cake!!!

Only we could have a party that required 2 baths! LOL

One after the sand box and one after cake!!

What a great day for a terrific two year old!!!

Happy Birthday Bubby!!!
We love you so much!!!
