Little Man Turns 2!

Wow, my little man is 2 years old!  It really doesn’t seem possible that he has been part of our lives for 2 years already. With each day that passes, he does something new, says something new and reminds me that my little baby is gone. I love the little boy he is becoming but I feel sad as I know with each milestone he hits, it will be the last I will experience.  No more first smile, first laugh, first tooth, first step, first word….  But I also look forward to watching him grow into an amazing little boy, teenager, young man, husband, father…Whoa, now I am getting way ahead of myself!  I better just stick the here and now!  Although I did have to look back at some of the photos from the day James was born.

The girls and their new little brother.  They are awesome big sisters!

Today we had a great day celebrating James as he turned 2!  We threw him a Thomas the Train themed party with many of our family members in attendance.  James had an amazing time opening his presents and even more fun playing with all his new toys!
 
I tried to get a little crafty for his party and created some handmade decorations. I think they turned out pretty cute!

The banner in the back is my favorite DIY project. The Thomas train with apps on the table was a fun idea too!

Let the present opening begin!

“WOW!” was expressed when opening many of his presents!  Then he would proceed to say “Op please Daddy!”

James and Brian with the tool bench that Brian made for him.  It was a HUGE hit!!!  Great job Bri!

Happy Birthday James William! Mommy, Daddy, Katelin, and Annie love you so much buddy! We hope you had a wonderful day and we look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you!!
