Simon’s cousins, and an extra auntie and uncle were in town over president’s day weekend, so we decided to have his family party then for an extra large gathering. Here is the birthday fun in pictures:
Elias helped me to decorate Simon’s birthday cupcakes before everyone came over:
While I made dinner, Simon decided to check the present pile and remove all bows:
I made Simon’s favorite meal – Spaghetti with meat sauce, bread sticks, and strawberries.
We couldn’t fit everyone at one table, but we moved everyone out into the family room so we could all at least be in close quarters.
Simon enjoyed his meal.
After clean up, we went to open presents. Auntie Kristy made him a toy box similar to the one she made for Elias at one year. Now it’s a tradition!
Elias “helped” open the presents.
Then we all played with the loot:
Finally, it was time for dessert. Simon enjoyed it when we sang happy birthday:
But he enjoyed his first chocolate cupcake even more:
Here he is signing for “more”
It was a wonderful night with family. Thank you to everyone who celebrated with us!
