An Early Birthday Celebration

This past Saturday we celebrated Ian's 2nd birthday about a month early so that Daddy could celebrate with us. Then Alexis will get a party about a month late so Daddy can be home for that too. Grandpa and Grandma Murray and Aunt Kelly came down from Rochester for the weekend so it was great to have them there for the party too.
The theme for the party was of course cars....lots and lots and lots of cars. Almost every gift Ian got was car related which could not have made him happier. As you can see from the video all Ian wanted off of his cake was the Lightening McQueen car that was on top...and to eat the candle too I guess. He is so excited to have lots of different kinds of cars now and it's so funny to hear all the names he has for them. He got a set of cars from the Disney movie Cars so he calls Lightening McQueen "Queen", the tractor is "Tractor Queen" and the Army Jeep is "Daddy's car." He has a Crossfire and several PT Cruisers which are all "PaPa's car" because my dad has a Crossfire and both of my parents have PT Cruisers (PaPa is the universal word for both Grandma and Grandpa for now..haha). The funniest thing was the HotWheels card he got from his Aunt Kelly that made a reving noise everytime you opened it. He laughed hysterically as he kept opening and closing it and yelling "Car Noise!"










I'll put pics up from our trip to the Safari Park next and then we will be leaving for our trip out to Kansas later this week. The time is going too fast!!!!

Adorable! Happy early birthday Ian. He looks like a happy boy. We were thinking of a Cars theme for Drew but decided on Nemo instead. The cake is really cute though!
