Wyatt & Colton’s 2nd Birthday Bash!

We celebrated the boys’ birthday with family & friends with a party on Saturday, the 7th, the day after their actual birthday. The day ended up being a perfect summer day.

(With the high heat & humidity all week, we were very lucky to have it break & have much more comfortable temps back in the 80s for their party day – which let us keep our outdoor party plans, which was awesome because there is no way we could have fit all of those people in our house!!)

We planned the party to start after the boys’ afternoon naps, when they were well rested & in good moods. Of course, they had other plans & both cut their naps short that day, but they were in good moods and had a blast, despite a little lack of sleep.

Wyatt - ready to party!

Colton - ready to party!

There were 8 (+ our 2!) kiddos total – ages 3 & under – having a blast in our backyard. I felt like I was a little too stressed about everything at their party last year (me, really??!!), so this year I kept the menu easy & low-key ~ BBQs & grilled cheese (the boys’, but especially Colton’s, current favorite food!) with fresh fruit, veggies and a cold pasta salad and the theme fun ~ Mickey Mouse! We were lucky to have both grandmas & a couple other friend/family members be so generous to make/bring food to share.

Sand box fun.

Playing.

Fun!

We opened gifts right before we ate & the boys really got into the fun of ripping the paper or digging in the bags. They got a lot of awesome gifts – including monster trucks, Mr. Potato Heads, cute clothes, puzzles, tractors, a Cozy Coupe Truck and a water table.

My good friend, “D”, is a talented baker & made the boys’ Mickey Mouse cake as their gift – which was amazing & a BIG hit! Three cake flavors – white, chocolate & red velvet – all peanut-free!!

Singing "Happy Birthday!" & blowing out the candle.

We did baths & books after all the guests had left for the night – to settle things down a bit.

We all had a blast & I didn’t feel over-stressed this year at all – YAY!!!

Happy Birthday boys – you two make daddy & mommy feel like the luckiest parents in the world! Every day with you is a blessing & we are so happy we got to celebrate 2 years of blessings with you. We love you to the moon & back!
