Boy Wonder turns 2

A had a birthday about a week and half ago which I have been meaning to blog about but somehow the day always seems to get away from me!  We decided to have family and friends over to our little 1500 square foot corner of the world - crowded much - um, yes!  We only had about 20 people but that's a lot of bodies squeezed into a small space (we so need a bigger abode!).  Regardless of the lack of breathing room, it went well!  A little past nap time and it showed on poor A but he had fun.  He racked up more toys than one little 2 year old should probably have and got overwhelmed by the presents and the people (my kid wouldn't eat his chocolate cake - I may have to disown him!).  After he got up from his nap, he systematically brought every box to us to open so he could play with the toys inside.  Now, a week and a half later he has his favorites - all train related (shocking!). Unfortunately, since I was playing the hostess with the mostess I didn't get a lot of photos but here are a few.

The cake - made by grandma! (it had three coal cars too!)

Opening presents with the "help" of his cousin.

All choo choo's all the time!

Not a fan of the cake!
