Willy's 2nd Birthday Party

Willy is 2! I can hardly believe it!

In fact he's now almost 2 and one month since I'm that far behind in blogville... but that's ok!

Party= Saturday July 25, 2009

The theme of the party was "things with wheels"

which is awfully appropriate.

All the kids got into it.

Some of them... literally.

The hats too were a big hit

Which is a good thing for Miss Riley.

If you know our family, you know the 'crazy hats' come out

at many a family gathering.

Its good that she's starting young.

And very sweet that she chose the fireman's hat.

Bubba would be proud.

My favorite photo of the day.

If that isn't the sweetest face?!

Its so very RILEY!

Sweet and cheeky and silly and proud and beautiful.

Then it was time for Birthday Cake!

Here's Willy blowing out his candle.

The only 2 year old I know who insists on eating cake with silverware like an adult.

No diving in and getting his face and hands all messy! No thanks.

Next up was PRESENTS! This kid made out great!

A circus sandbox from Nanny and Grandpa

An Indian Motorcycle from Uncle Danny {and me}

So this might also be my favorite shot of the day.

Can I have two favorites?

{if you ask Richard Christy* I can}

*sorry for the Howard Stern reference, but for those of you who listen you'd know that one was hard to resist

pure unadulterated joy!

And the fun just keeps on coming...

It was a fantastic day.

Happy Birthday Willy!
