2nd Birthday Party

With Kayson's birthday falling on Christmas, I continue to worry how he's going to respond to that when he gets older... so we are doing are best to make sure he knows he is special and deserves a special day just for him. He got that today. Our immediate families made the trip to us today... for some presents, food and fun. Kayson of course didn't sleep well last night, so he was a little owly at first, but things got better once everyone was here...


We did realize that opening presents this year, compared to last year, is much different. We can't really 'hurry him along' and just open the gifts all at once, simply because he wants to play with each gift now... that's hard. We tried to move quickly so then he could just go at all the gifts later once they were all opened... it went fairly well, just different! Next week will be interesting with Christmas gifts and more birthday gifts.


Here are a few shots of his party.

Trucks and more trucks! He also got a semi that is full of little match-box cars... so cute! He also got some puzzles and books and a Thomas the Tank Engine lunchbox!


This picture shows how Kayson is scared of a toy that he got. Papa Mike purchased him a soft fire truck remote control car... it's awesome... and Kayson is scared of it!!! We played with it a little more tonight, he's still not a fan, but he'll get there...



And the cake and ice cream... he loved it when we sang Happy Birthday to him!!! And Dadda helped him blow out the #2 candle!

All and all, the party was a success. After everyone left, we all napped... we needed it. A party wears us out!!! Tonight Kayson's been pretty good - a little overwhelmed by all the toys... not sure which one to play with!! He does have a little cold now... and a cough. I sure hope he kicks this soon - we have another super busy weekend ahead of us.
