William's 2nd Birthday

First, I want to apologize for being a little behind on my posting. Our summer has been crazy so far. Between Ricky's music schedule, sickness, and business trips, we have not had much time together and my down time has been spent catching up on housework or taking a nap. :) Things should be calming down a bit for us in August and we are hoping to have more family time and enjoy the rest of our summer!

All that to say, I am going to try and catch everyone up on what we have been doing the past few months, starting with William's 2nd birthday that happened at the end of May. We had a fun family party for our little man with both sets of grandparents, an aunt, an uncle, and a cousin (we missed Aunt Ruth and Uncle Nate!) a great aunt and uncle, and a great-grandpa. It was simple but perfect for our little 2 year old.


Blueberry birthday pancakes!

Mommy helping William open presents. He did not have much interest in opening his own presents so Mommy did most of the opening.

Mommy and Daddy got William his own drum set for his birthday. He LOVED it and immediately gave everyone a special concert. I think he will be taking after his Daddy!

Cake time!

Mmmm! Chocolate chip cupcakes with peanut butter frosting!

Since William and Daddy have birthdays a day a part, we also made cupcakes for Daddy and sang to him.

Grandma, cousin, and auntie.

Playing piano with Mama (Grandma) and Papa. Maybe he'll take up piano too? Mommy can hope!

Happy birthday to our precious boy! We love you!
