Mcayden's Two!

Mcayden had a great 2nd birthday! We threw a little birthday party for him a couple of days before his "official" b-day day. It was a lot of fun hanging out with our friends and watching the kids play together. This years party was "easy" for Mom & Dad. We bought all the food and had the cake made at Costco. (I added the train track and Thomas candle.)It was totally the way to go! We really enjoyed ourselves.

Mcayden was so excited about his "choo-choo" cake, that he tried to drive the train candle along the track! I thought it was so cute he did that. Mcayden picked the "choo-choo" decorations for his party and it turned out really cute. He loved all the balloons and would say the names of each train on the table cloth. He is such a QT.

The kiddos spent their time racing up and down the hallway, playing with balloons and toys, and eating!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Mcayden! We love you!

Our little party animal crashed once his party was over. He had so much fun!

After the Party

What a party! We all had so much fun. Mcayden "worked" the party. He went around to everyone at the party and "visited" with them. At one point, he stood infront of everyone and waved his arms and started talking really loudly. Mommy interpreted by saying, "I just want to thank you all for coming to my birthday party..." Everyone started laughing.
Mcayden ate plenty of food--he went around and got food from everyone during the party (in addition to his own plate). He loves Brazilian food and is truly our "Brazilian baby"!

Birthday Cake

Mcayden loved his birthday cake. After his first bite, he began saying, "mmmm...mmmm" as he ate the cake! Yummy! We had a "Brazilian" birthday since he is our "Brazilian baby". We had a delicious Brazilian dinner (beans, rice, chicken, cheese bread, farofa, maioneisa, guarana, etc.) He was spoiled with gifts. We opened them once everyone had left because there was so much going on during the party. We have awesome friends and had a really fun time! We joked the party was also a celebration for Rick and I--we survived the first year!

Feliz Anniversario!

"Happy Birthday to you..."Grammie B called to wish Mcayden a happy birthday. Here he is listening to her sing to him! Fun! He was in a great mood all day--he knew it was his day. He's a year old! It's hard to believe we have a one year old!

This year has flown by!
