Andrew's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated AJ's birthday with a fine dining experience of grilled cheese, potato chips, pickles and melon. Might as well give the boy what he likes, right? Steve had to hold his hands when the candle was on the cupcake because he kept trying to grab the flame. Yikes!
AJ is trying to get Daddy with his chocolatey fingers!

Andrew's Birthday Party

We had Andrew's 2nd Birthday party the Monday morning before his birthday. We invited a few of his friends over for basically a playdate and pizza lunch. A good time was had by all!

Before the guests arrived AJ and I went to pick up the balloons. Talk about the best present ever! I was talking to the pizza guy and I couldn't stop laughing because AJ was walking around tangled up in the balloon bouquet trying to get out of it... It was pretty funny!

AJ holding his friend Alex's baby sister, Jamie Nicole. She is 5 weeks old. He's gonna make a great big brother some day! All he wants to do is hold and hug the baby.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...

Curious George was the theme and these were my best attempt at making 'George' cupcakes. They may not look like George but at least they look like monkeys! Frosting is not my favorite medium!! And I didn't even get to taste one since I gave up sweets for Lent!

AJ didn't though... He enjoyed the whole cupcake.

Grace is modeling the Curious George masks that I made for each of the kids.

AJ is running and carrying the balloons while Grace, Tyler & Alex chase after him screaming. They all ended up in a piggie pile at the end.

Is our baby gonna be a Cubs fan? Hopefully!

If you don't know, there is a little (ok, it's kinda big) rivalry in our house about baseball. Steve's a Brewers fan and I am a Cubs fan. AJ is always taking my hat and wearing it around- in the car, at home... He doesn't do that with a Brewers hat. I'm just telling the truth! And since I'm the one who writes this blog, my baby will be a Cubs fan (even if it is only in blogland). And Cubs blue really brings out his big blue eyes!
