Big T is 2!!!

I am way overdue in my blog posting but I did want to wish our sweet Tyler a very Happy 2nd Birthday today!  We've been celebrating since Friday because we wanted to show him how to blow out candles for his party and he's certainly enjoying it!  I'm feeling nostalgic and emotional at how fast time has flown by since he was born, but most of all feeling very blessed that he is in our lives.  I'm hoping to post another update soon about our adventures over Christmas but here is a recap of his birthday!

We had a party on the Saturday before Tyler's birthday at a local play space that has a restaurant attached. Tyler was pretty pumped to have everyone singing Happy Birthday to him.

He's a pro at blowing out candles now!

Inside the play space they have slides, a basketball court, a ball pit and lots of tunnels, soft play and things to climb on!

The theme of his party was airplanes!  Thank goodness for the Planes movie - that gave me lots of options for party props 

Hey Lucas, check out this glider plane!

All the littles eating.  We called this our American party in London - everyone that was there was an American expat :)

Tyler loved the cupcakes.  He's developing quite the sweet tooth.  His cupcake was gone in about a minute (notice the boy and girl to the right of him have barely taken a bite as he is shoving the whole thing in)!  He then went around the table picking up everyone's scraps of cupcake!

Practicing bubbles at the park after the party.  Sorry for all of you in the Midwest that are still stuck in the Polar Vortex, you will not want to hear that it was 50 degrees and sunny the day of his party.  We had to go outside and burn off some of that cupcake sugar!

Little Rugby started this Sunday too.  JJ is going to take him there every Sunday.  He's the youngest in the class by far (but one of the biggest) so he's a little confused by what he's supposed to do.

Our future rugby star in action :)

He loves the cheap sunglasses I put in the party bag for everyone.  Any time the sun is peaking out he demands to have his "glasses."  We need to get him a proper pair of sunglasses I think :)

He got a tool bench so he can work on "fixing" stuff like Daddy does!

His birthday morning was like Christmas morning!  JJ and I set up this super cool train table and he is all about it!  He loves his choo choos! 

Speaking of choo choos, it was another nice day the day of his birthday so we went to the park where you can watch trains go by.  He was in heaven!
