My boy is 2!


Jaxson's birthday celebrations started out the Saturday before his birthday. We had a little get together at mom and dad's since they were leaving to go out of town for the next couple weeks. I decided to try my hand at fondant because the cakes you can make are so stinking cute. Jaxson is beyond obsessed with the show Team Umizoomi right now. He will literally throw a fit if a different kids show comes on. So I decided to make Geo from the show for his cake. I couldn't have done it without a ton of help from Carrie, and I am so happy with how it turned out. It is soooooo cute! Jaxson could care less of course, but I loved it. And it was good practice for when he does care and I'll be able to make him something awesome :)

Geo cake


opening presents from grandma and grandpa


he is not a fan of pictures right now, and he HATED the candle being lit


playing with his presents



The next day (Sunday) we had a little party with James' family. I just made cupcakes and cookies for this one.

he absolutely hates attention, this is his face while we were singing to him


but then he gets to eat the cupcake and he's happy


opening presents




This present was by far his favorite. It's from his aunt and uncle and grandpa. He rides it daily at home, and it is so stinking cute


On his actual birthday, Wednesday Feb. 20, daddy took the day off work so we could spend the day together.

This is what happens when I try to get a picture of him in his birthday shirt


We started the day off at Kangaroo Zoo which he LOVED




And then we went to the Aquarium since it's less than a mile away and we have an annual pass


Then we came home and took a nice nap as a family and then we let him open his presents. (We are well aware that this boy is very spoiled, but that's what happens when you're an only child, right?)



He had some very anxious and willing helpers :)




Here he is pushing the cupcake away because the candle is lit and we are singing to him and that makes him very unhappy

and crying for the reasons above

but everything is all better when we stop and he just gets to eat it
Cheese!

We are so grateful for the 2 amazing, incredible, wonderful years we've been blessed with and can't wait for many more to come! Love you forever, Jaxson!
