Happy, Happy Birthday Baby!

The day after Dom turned two, we threw him a fun little birthday bash with all his cutie-pie little friends! Here are the highlights:

When the kiddos arrived, they started on a coloring sheet and got to use markers, crayons, foamies, stamps, and stickers to decorate it.




Next, we broke out the homemade playdough and made shapes using cookie cutters, and forks!



For lunch, we ate chicken nuggets, strawberry applesauce, and apple juice...




We were supposed to eat lunch outside in the back yard in the tent, but it rained. :( Then we were supposed to play with sidewalk chalk and bubbles and Rich was going to take the kiddies on rides in the bike trailer around the culdesac (he was our "pony") but he got out of that because of the rain too. So, we improvised. I'm so lucky we have a huge playroom in the basement. They were all easily amused, thank goodness!

When the kids were done playing, we all sang Happy Birthday to the Man of the Hour...



Then I let them get to work decorating their own rainbow chip cupcakes... a little crazy? Yes. But it was so much fun for them. We had 4 different types of sprinkles, M-n-Ms, and mini-gummy bears to choose from.




Dom loved the blue sprinkles. He sprinkled his cupcake, his icecream, his friend, Kaden, himself, the table, the floor... I'm still stepping on sprinkles!



Dominic dove right into his cupcake, no crying over frosted fingers this year....



... this boy meant business!


Last, we opened presents and had lots of great help. It was a great day, with minimal tantrums...




... I said, minimal.
After all, it is his birthday, and he'll cry (scream) if he wants to.


Unfortunately, I missed a few of them... but here are some of Dom's cute little friends...


Owen:

Miss Ava... oops, caught her with her mouth full!


Jack and Kaden:



Dallin and Taylor:



Tytan... you want to eat him, don't you!?




Miss Harleigh
