Birthday Celebration!
On Saturday morning Ian woke up earlier than usual. Tim and I were lying in bed wishing that everyone was still asleep but it did not look like it was going to happen. Ian started heading downstairs and then we heard him holler from the living room -"Me birthday!" He then spent the next few minutes trying to open presents so we decided to let him open one.
Notice the box on the right? This is Ian's house which he loves. He has colored all over it inside and outside and loves playing in his house. Sadly today (Sunday) was its last day with us. Ian has been wearing big boy underwear all week and had an accident in his box today. Good bye box we will miss you -but not the space you take up :)

Ian opening Toy Story in the morning.

After a delicious juicy roll breakfast and some playtime we went and picked up Ellie and headed to the fun park. The kids were very excited to see each other.

They had a blast running around and going down the slides in the soft play (Tim is right behind them).
This was their favorite slide. The two of them would go down backwards, sideways, and on their tummies. Ian was too fast I never was able to capture him coming down.
We had lunch and between the four of us ate an entire pizza. After lunch the kids wanted to play in the soft play again. They even created their own slide and found that it was fun to slide down on your tummy or back, or like Ian just with your feet.We played arcade games and they both got to pick out a few prizes for the ride home.
We got home later in the afternoon and dropped Ellie off and then Ian went down for a nap. After naptime the Thompson's came over to celebrate Ian's birthday! As soon as they walked in the door Ian wanted to open presents which worked out great because dinner wasn't quite ready.
Here he is opening a tool set from daddy and a baseball tee with bat. He also got a cars look and find book, and basketball. As if he wasn't spoiled enough the Thompson's gave him a grocery cart (he loves running around with Ellie's at their house and has already put it some good use on his new one), plus pool toys and lots of bubbles. With new toys they both wanted to play outside -luckily there was a break in the rain and we were able to do just that.

We came inside and had homemade Mac & Cheese, teriyaki chicken, grilled salmon, salad, and bread sticks. After eating the kids watched toy story for a minutes then we pulled out the cake. Ian was great at blowing out the candles. It took a couple times and quite a bit of spit but he got them both blown out.

It really was a great day. Ian had a blast all day long. When asking him at night what his favorite part of the day was he just kept saying all the different things we had done all day. Thanks Thompson's for spending the day with us. Happy Birthday Ian!!! I can't believe you are two already!

So glad you let us celebrate with you. And Ellie always has a great time with you guys, especially when she gets to go all by herself. We just love you Ian and your fun spunky teasing sweet personality and can't wait to meet your little brother.
