Look who's 2!

Happy Birthday Justin!

Justin slid down the stairs this morning and found his first birthday present! His very own table and chair set! Of course, he was more interested in the ball he saw sitting on the table! (it's the simple things...)


The traditional "birthday door decorations!" This time they were created by his sweet sisters!

It has always been tradition for Grandma and Papa Q. to get my kids their own chair for their 1st birthday. He wasn't quite ready then... but he sure is now! He climbs in and out like a champ! (perfect chair for watching baby signing time!)

There was NO WAY I was leaving the store the other day with out this! He was in heaven with this particular toy isle! Move over baby toys... Just is now a BIG BOY! (Thank you Grandma and Papa G!)

While Daddy was trying to get the toy out (you have to have an engineering degree anymore to open these boxes) ... Taylee and April read their darling birthday cards to him!

Finally... time to enjoy the toy!

Daddy was keeping him plenty entertained during lunch. The staff was sweet! The sang to him and brought him some ice cream... his all time favorite!

(Are you sick of the play by play yet?!)
We topped the day off with the cupcakes... which he thoroughly enjoyed!


You guessed it... once he was done, he wanted down. He headed straight for his tractor!

We LOVE you so much J-man! Happy 2 Birthday!

Happy birthday to your big boy!! What a cutie! He's "all boy" now with his big truck! My guys love trucks too!

Happy Birthday! I have learned over the years to actually just take the toys out of the package and THEN wrap them so as not to have to fight the packaging when the kids open their gifts. Beautiful day!

Happy Birthday Justin! I love his big boy chair - that looks super comfortable. Carter got that ball for his birthday too - and he loves it! It is so fun to have them get into the "big boy" toys like cars and trucks and tractors! Glad his day was so much fun!

Kele said...

How could I have missed J man's birthday? Blogging hiatus or not, that is unforgivable?!?!!

HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY J-MAN!

Looks like you guys had a fun filled day!

p.s. I know, aren't the getting into gifts ridiculous? After enough screams and impatient kids, we have learned to disassemble and just set back in the box before giving at Christmas time or we'd be crazy!
