We celebrated Jonathan's 2nd birthday not only once, but prob. a total of 5 times! It was really fun! Partly it happened this way because it felt hard to know how to plan around everyone's schedule, including the due date of our new baby, which happened to be only three days after Jon's birthday. At first I felt kinda sad for him that he didn't get to just have one big party and all the presents and and attention at once, but as the week went on and we celebrated with different people I was glad that he got to be sung to so many times, and open a lot of presents not all at once, and eat cake 3 times instead of just 1. Mainly I just wanted him to know he was loved a lot and that we were celebrating his 2 amazing years of life! I think I he got the point!
Our first celebration was with Aunt Cindy & Kent. They came over for dinner and dessert. We had a fun time hanging out and eating some good food! Jonathan loved opening his presents. In the picture above, Jonathan just opened a new sippy cup, picked out by none other than Big Sister, Jorden- who clearly was very excited about it! Below Jon and Jorden are checking out Jon's new Big Boy car bed from Aunt Cindy & Kent! He wasn't quite sure about it the first night, but now he loves to show his race car bed to everyone!
Birthday Boy!
Although, I don't have any pictures from the night, on Wed. the week of his birthday! Jodi and Jesse came up and had dinner with us and celebrated Jon's birthday. We were also celebrating their return from DTS in the middle East. Aunt Jo gave Jonathan a stuffed animal camel that she brought back from Eygpt, however Jon well he really likes Jesse and he kept saying the Jesse gave him the Camel.
Below: On Thursday night we headed to Chuck E. Cheese's for some good family fun! We had a great time! Kevin, Lesley, and Kiddos joined us in the fun! The kids (and adults) had a great time playing all the games and eating pizza!
This is Jonathan with his new pickup truck from Pa Pa and Ma-Maw Lapp. We went to their house on sunday afternoon and evening, and had dinner together. Jonathan is also sporting a new hat he got from Pa Pa and Ma-Maw on their FL. trip.
