We had a small party with just the family. Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Eileen, Mike and Roger came to help us celebrate. The theme of the party was Elmo - only because Anna and James recognize him and know how to say his name (they don't even watch Sesame Street). They walked around saying "Elmo" all day long - mission accomplished!
 |
| My first attempt at cake decorating - I was pretty happy with it, if I do say so myself... |
 |
| Emma, Ashley and I made snow globe party favors. |
 |
| Our newest tradition - the birthday train! |
 |
| Elmo! |

 |
| Yum! |
 |
| James LOVED the Elmo balloon! |
 |
| Anna was mostly interested in the gifts. |
 |
| She finally got to open her presents. |
 |
| As did James of course |

After Anna and James opened their gifts it was time for the pinata. Notice all the pieces of tape on the bottom? Our pinata must have been defective because all the strings came off... Dan then had to tape every single piece of ribbon back on! Surprisingly it worked out great!
 |
| Notice how James is trying to put his ride on toy on top of the very small coffee table. This is why he continues to get hurt all the time! |
 |
| I wonder why Anna looks so suspicious?? |
 |
| Our main gift to our two year-olds was this tandem tricycle. I'm hoping we'll have lots of fun with this once the weather warms up. |
 |
| We also bought a second trike without pedals. They were always fighting over Henry's old one so now they each have one. I'm sure they'll find something else to fight over... (Isn't that basket the cutest?!) |
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BEAUTIFUL ANNA AND JAMES!
