Caleb's 2nd Birthday

Today was Caleb's second birthday, and what a great day it turned out to be!  

This morning Caleb slept  in a bit (anything past 6:30am these days is considered great), a treat we haven't had for at least a month, and it seemed to give the day a good start... 

Daddy made Caleb pancakes for breakfast, which were still on Caleb's mind after the Fourth of July Pancake Breakfast.


The theme of Caleb's party was Toy Story, since Caleb is loving that trilogy these days...  If you ask him who his favorite character is, he will usually say "Wooty!", with a big smile and lots of enthusiasm.  But then we will randomly hear him say something that took us a long time to figure out... "...a-beeya!!" (translated: "...and beyond!", just like Buzz Lightyear says).  I think he just loves the movies, regardless of any favorite character.   So I made what I told him was a 'special birthday outfit and birthday hat' to dress him like Woody.  Most of the outfit didn't stay on long enough for me to even get a good picture of it, but I think you can get the idea from this series of pictures below...  I was proud of my project, and he looked so darn cute when it was all on :)

No, we don't have three kids... I just loved this picture though, and cousin Tessa was ready to dive in and help Caleb with his giant cupcake.  Meanwhile, Landon (aka Buzz Lightyear) is taking 'Woody's' hat...

An all around nice day, and we are so thankful for Caleb!!
