Messy boy, chomping down on his Birthday cake.

Birthday Blowout, haha
This was Aedyn this morning when we woke him up by singing Happy birthday to him. So cute, he was cuddling Tigger.
The Blue cake I made, turned out great I thought!
Aedyn checking out one of his new gifts!
It was definitely a Blue's Clues birthday.
A rare moment where Mommy was in front of the camera instead of behind. But Aedyn was happy because he was coloring!
Aedyn had a wonderful birthday! Can't believe it has been 2 years!
We celebrated over 2 days with 2 parties. The first was in the mountains at Dad and Helen's; all who were there Grandma and Grandpa Young, Aunt Soone, and Angela, Aunt Kat and Uncle Jon, Aunt Jen, Janie and Sean, Uncle Doug, Aunt Debbie, and Sean, and Josh, Catie, and Daniel joined our party too! I loved that we had a handful of kids to celebrate with us. I really tried to focus on events that would make Aedyn happy. We had sandwiches and chips and spaghetti salad (thanks Soone), and fruit. We first ate lunch, then did some coloring of Blues Clues characters (Blue, Slippery, Steve, Mailbox all showed up), then we watched a Blues Clues video. It was wonderful watching all the kids sit in silence for 30 minutes.
Then Aedyn's favorite part of the party, we did a Blue's Clues style scavenger hunt and all the kids had their Handy Dandy notebook. It was the cutest thing after searching for the clues, he would open his notebook scribble down the clue, close his notebook and put his crayon back in the spiral part and get ready to find the next clue. He knew exactly what to do, so smart our boy! Well, the next event was the pinata, of which Aedyn would not participate( I know he loves to hit at a pinata, he has done so at other parties), but he would not let go of his notebook to pick up the bat, so he tried to hit it with his crayon which didn't work. He didn't even want to pick up the goodies after they fell out because it would require putting down the notebook. Silly Boy!
Then it was time for presents and cake. He still wouldn't put down the notebook so he didn't open his gifts really, Mommy and Daddy had to do that. He made out with some really cool things. He loves his vaccum!!!! Cake time, of course he sat down to eat his cupake, he loves cake. But here's the kicker, he still didn't put down his book, instead Grandma fed it to him, oh my how messy! Overall, it was a great day. He loved spending time with family and playing!
Sunday we ceelbrated with family too! Grammy Bev, Grandma and Grandpa Moore, Cuz Aunt Nina and Cuz Uncle Brian, Aunt Jen, Uncle Jason, Kaitlyn and Brayden. This birthday celebration was a little more low key, which I think was for the best. He actually slept until 3 pm,one hour longer than normal. We had pizza which was yummy! He still got to play with his cousin Brayden which he loved. They sat at Aedyn's new Elmo table and chairs and colored together and play with balloons. He was all wound up and still wouldn't sit down to open his gifts, so Mommy and Daddy had to do the job again. I must say though he took an especially keen interest in Kaitlyn's gift to him, Firetruck and tractor books with wheels! Two of his favorite things together, books and trucks!!!!! He also loved his playhouse that we got him, played in it as soon as we brought it in! It has a doorbell, a mailslot, a phone, opening doors and windows. He loves to play house. We then ate the Blues Cake I made (it turned out great). A happy yet quieter day!
Aedyn's actual Birth Day wa very low key. Grammy stayed the day with us we just stayed at home played with his new toys, let him nap, and let him play some more! We had thought about going to Disneyland but we were not up to it, everyone was too tired.
Aedyn had a great 2nd birthday!
