2nd Birthday

Happy Birthday sweet boy! I can't even believe we are celebrating birthday #2. Where have the past 2 years gone? I know all parents say that and it may sound cliche but my baby is growing way too fast! We had so much fun planning and celebrating Ethan's special day with family and friends. Here is my boy getting ready to party it up before everyone arrives. These are the gift boxes the kids received at the start of the party and were filled with stuff for the kids to dress up like Handy Manny or Kelly.

Kevin and Shane manning the grill and cooking the carne asada. Mariane made her special carne asada with the sides and grandma and grandpa made their special mini pizzas. Thanks for all the help and yummies.

The sun was out and we placed the food tables outside. Here is the kid's table.

After lunch Handy Manny came to play parachute, tug of war, magic tricks, and made balloon animals with the kids. Here is the birthday boy in the middle.

Here is a group picture of the kids. We had about 25 kids between about 2-5 years of age. This may sound like craziness but we had a blast and the kids were wonderful.
