Jack's Two...Time Flew!

Last weekend I started feeling guilty that Jack wasn't having a birthday celebration with his Royal Oak friends.  So I decided to put together a little "something." The invitations were hand-delivered...except Lucas didn't get a balloon because Jack popped it. (Sorry, Lucas)
The "theme" was Jack is TWO...Time flew! And I incorporated airplanes into it...simple and easy. (although I did have to Google how to fold different types of paper airplanes)
All of Jack's best buddies came! You know it's a fun party when the drink of choice is apple juice and the adults in the room also serve as referees.
Josie was happy to be passed around to anyone willing to hold her...which was just about everyone.

 Our new "family of four" photo! Doesn't Jos look thrilled?
We had no problem convincing the toddlers to eat the cupcakes. The pizza and fruit was a different story...
 Jack and Molly - having a "moment." I think this is a frameable photo! It's too cute!
Jack got SO many fun new presents! Tyson and I got him a Buzz Lightyear and a Woody doll (from Toy Story)...he also got a new choo-choo, two books about trucks, a matching game, a new car (the toy kind), a new boat, and (in order to help him with his New Year's resolution) a POTTY book!! Fingers crossed.

Tyson and I can't believe our little guy is already two. Time really does FLY by! I vividly remember this day, two years ago, as if it were yesterday.

We (all four of us) feel so blessed to have such wonderful friends here in Michigan.  Jack has spent two years with three kiddos that are sweet, funny, and adorable.  Yes, they may have their differences...especially when they all want to play with the same toy...but we couldn't ask for better friends, neighbors, and playmates.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Jack Dyer! You are loved.
