Happy 2nd Birthday Aiden!!!!

Our little man turned two on Friday so we had his birthday party this weekend. We just had it at our house this year with family and friends. It was a lot of fun.

Here's the family.

The sign I made.

My monkey cupcakes. We did an animal theme this year since Aiden LOVES animals.

This is his room after the kids got done playing. They pulled out just a few toys.

Some of the guest.....Audra and Aaden

This is what my sweet little nephew Bryce did the whole party! I guess he's not much of a party animal yet.

Getting ready to sing to Aiden.

Some more of the guests.

Aiden had to take a little break before going to open up gifts. Must be a rough life!

Holding up the Mickey 2 card! (Forgot to mention that I did color my hair. This is closer to my natural color, which is a dirty blonde. I just thought I'd do something different for the fall. And this will be easier to maintain.)

Holding Aiden while everyone sang to him. He's about to dive into that cupcake.

Licking the icing off the candles.

Reed showing him how to open gifts.

He was more interested in what was on the outside of the gift.

He got this really neat puzzle. Might be a little advanced for him now, but he loves looking at the picture.

Opening up one of the Razorback shirts my parents got him. Of course the boy has to have Razorback stuff for the football season coming up.

Madelyn and Aiden playing with another block puzzle he got.

Playing with a Cars book. BTW, his favorite movie right now is Cars so we did get him a lot of Cars things.

He got this really neat truck from Kristy and Paul. His buddy Carter is trying to figure it out.

He's loving tractors too so he got some John Deer tractors

His new bike from Mimi and Papa. He was so excited to ride it.

You can kind of see in this picture that Aiden's shirt has an elephant on it. He has been obsessed with elephants for a while now. They are definitely his favorite animal so it only seemed appropriate that he wore an elephant shirt for his birthday.

We had out this beautiful ark we got in Guatemala.

And his giraffe we got in Guatemala. His Gigi and Pops got him this. I'm going to have to do a separate post on all the cool toys we got in Guatemala. They were all so neat.

We had such a wonderful party, but even more it was fun to celebrate Aiden turning 2. It seriously seems like just yesterday we had his one year old party. Aiden has brought SO much joy to our lives. We feel so privileged that God chose us to be his parents. What an honor. I love being with him every day and just getting to see all that he is doing. He is talking like crazy now and is always doing something that makes us laugh. I seriously think just in the past week he has been doing things that make me laugh so hard I cry. I will be putting his 2 year pictures up next and I'll let you know all he's saying. It's so cute. We love you so much little man.
