Birthday Parties

A 2nd birthday can not come and go without a party…or two! 

For our little guy trucks was a natural theme.  Corbin loves “big trucks”.  So with the help of Pinterest I threw together a few ideas to help Corbin celebrate becoming two.

On Friday, Corbin partied with some of his little friends at our house.

The kiddos played, did a sticker activity, and ate snacks while the moms had fun chit chatting. 

(And of course while all this was happening I got limited amounts of pictures!  One mom remarked that we all need personal photographers and that’s SO true.  It’s hard to be involved with what’s going on and take pictures.)

Then on Saturday we had a big family party.  We opted to host the party at my parents’ house for more space since the weather forecast was rain.  And it was…rainy with the threat of tornados and massive storms.

However, we were still able to get in a good party before the weather forced people to flee for cover.

So, here are a few picture highlights from the party.  Again, we had a truck/construction theme.  All the tables were covered to look like a road, a few cones were placed in the center with balloons, and then Chris and I created a “cakescape”.

Once the party got rolling Corbin had the opportunity to open gifts.  He was very excited and enjoyed each one of them.  After each gift he would ask so nicely to play with them, but of course we had to move on so we said later and he would just look sad, until the next gift was placed in front of him:)

The evening ended with food, cake, and tornado warnings:)  It was a great birthday despite the weather.  We had a wonderful time celebrating Corbin’s big second birthday with so many people who love and care for him.

Now the parties are over and we start life with a two year old.  What will the year bring…will it be the terrible or terrific twos?  I’m guessing with this little guy it’s sure to be nothing but terrific;)
