Tolan's 2nd Birthday

One benefit of living near family is that you get to celebrate birthdays twice. While we were w/Justin's parents the weekend of the wedding we celebrated Tolan's birthday and then celebrated it again with my parents the day after his birthday, which was August 12. Two years went fast, but remembering the days when he was a newborn seems ages ago and I love the happy, smiley, determined, and independent young man he has turned into - all at the age of 2!

Isn't he cute? Enjoying the birthday serenade at Grandma & Grandpa Shook's

And loving all the new toys!Mommy and Logan enjoying the par-tay
It seemed like we had had a lot of cakes this summer and couldn't bring myself to make us another cake, so I used some scraps from one of the days I worked at the bakery and made a birthday trifle instead.

taking a deep breath to blow out the candles...

"Yaay! Did it!" He was so proud of blowing out one candle. I think Logan finished off the rest...

Justin was showing him how to use the new tee....

but he has his own ways of doing things...

Happy Birthday Mr. T!
