More 2nd Birthday Party!

Continuing on with the 2nd birthday party coverage…

After a yummy hat-wearing lunch Maxwell got to open all of his super fun presents!

His first stop were the two packages from Mrs. Susan and let’s just say they were a HIT!

She got him some Superman pj’s with a detachable cape!!  I think someone might have been a little jealous!  🙂

She also got him an AWESOME fire truck that lights up and makes fire truck noises.  Maxwell LOVED it and had to go get his fireman hat immediately!

He got lots of other sweet and wonderful gifts from everyone like new clothes, Dr. Seuss books, a VTech computer, a giant sticker book, new toys for the sandbox, DVDs and even a ride on bumble bee!  This little boy is fixed up in the toy department!!

After presents it was time for cake!  I got the cake from Olexa’s again and it was worth every penny!  yum!

Maxwell has been practicing blowing out his birthday candles for weeks now.  He’s been so excited about it.  I guess all the excitement was just a little too much though because when I came out with the lit candles and everyone was singing to him, his little face went from pure excitement to fear!  He didn’t want those candles anywhere near him!

Poor buddy!  I think it was all just a little overwhelming.  After a little hug from Dad, he was doing much better…

We were happy to see a smile again!

I cut up the cake…and here’s my 32 week bump in all it’s glory if you’re curious!

While Maxwell didn’t want to blow out the candles on his cake, he sure did want to eat it!

I think everyone enjoyed the cake eating part of the party!

After lunch, the cousins played with the new sand toys in the sand box for a bit…

and then it was time to bounce off all of that cake!

Please note that picture in the middle of his face smooshed up against the black netting!  cracks me up!

After lots of energy was spent, it was time to say “bye” to everyone!

Or maybe that’s actually more like “help!”  🙂  Either way, it was a GREAT day and we’re so happy that so much of our family could be there to celebrate the big TWO!

Maxwell, I hope you had the best birthday party a little boy could hope for.  We love you so much and can’t wait for another year of adventures!!

Bring on the terrific two’s!!
