Kellen had woken up on his 2nd birthday to find that the Birthday Fairy came!
He kicked the balloons on the ground for the 1st hour of his special day.
We got cleaned up, put our comfys on and headed out to our first stop...
Chuck-E-Cheese's
for some lunch and games!
Kellen loved playing all of the games. He especially loved the one that popped popcorn and he had to move his bowl around to catch as many as possible. And he spent most of his tokens on the game on the bottom right of the college. He pressed down on the little dog bone, which then popped all of these balls up in the air and flew into the dogs mouth. He just kept pumpin' that little bone up and down and up and down! He got the most tickets out of that one (44 tickets total!), which he cashed in for a little toy frog!
After our belly's were full, we headed to his very 1st movie!
Monsters Inc. 3D!!
We went to the Lakewood Town Center Theater because they have the best recliner seats and since it was about nap time, we tought if he was comfy and fell asleep, it was better than having a very hyper child with us at the theater...for everyone elses' sake!
He did very well. He munched on some popcorn, pop and red licorice and kept his 3D glasses on for most of the movie! I think it helped to have his blanky there...felt just like watching a movie with mom and dad at home.
On our way home from the movies, not even 3 minutes in the car, little Kellen was fast asleep!
We got home and tucked him in for a very short nap since he was laying down later than normal.
We woke him up for some home made split pea soup dinner...yummy!
Erin brought the kids over for cake and ice cream!
Again after a few hours in the kitchen baking and decorating his 2nd b-day cake....
Kellen LOVED it!! Another success!!
Kellen decorated a plate for his 2nd birthday and gave it to me and Jason!
I decided that I would start that as a new tradition this year.
He will decorate a plate every year on his birthday!
Work of an artist!!
And what night wouldn't be complete without a little birthday....
"Gangnam Style !!"
We had an absolute blast this year!
Thank you Kellen for being such an amazing, loving and beautiful boy that mommy and daddy love so much!
You make our days brighter and our love stronger!
Happy 2nd Birthday Sweetheart!
"I love..."
(phew, what a day...)
