Happy Birthday, Isaac!

Isaac turned 2 on Sunday and we had his birthday on Saturday evening. We rented a community house that our bank owns so no one had to host it at their home. It worked out quite well expect that the room is pretty much empty so there's not much to absorb the sound of 40 people-15 of them being children. It didn't help that it was rainy and the kids had to stay inside. Despite the loudness, it was a great party and I think everyone had a great time. We served nachos, fruit, and cake and ice cream-hopefully everyone left with a full belly!

We did a sports ball theme because that's Isaac's big thing right now. I taught myself the basics of Photoshop and made his invites:


And his cakes:


And the pinata (it's hard to tell from the picture, but each quadrant is painted like one of the balls-sort of like the invite):



Here's a candid of the party in action:

And some great things about our Bubba...

1. He has the most expressive, funniest facial expressions. If he's doing something he thinks might be questionable he'll watch for someone out of the corner of his eye with the most devious little grin. It's adorable!
2. He loves to laugh! And he'll do a little fake laugh if he's with adults who start laughing-even though he obviously has no idea what's going on.
3. He LOVES his baby sister!
4. He gives the best hugs and kisses and loves to cuddle-especially with his daddy.
5. He loves to be outside and play in the dirt, but hates being messy with food, lint, fuzzies, etc.
6. He is usually pretty good about walking with me in public when Leah is in the stroller (we have yet to invest in a double stroller).
7. He'll wave and/or say Hi to about anyone we meet.
8. He loves to sing and dance-he even has a signature dance for the ABC song-it's classic!
9. His hair is white, white blonde and I love that it sticks up everywhere when it's getting long.
10. He has the biggest blue eyes ever that sparkle when he's a happy boy!

Happy Birthday, Isaac-we love you so much!
