Beck is 2!

We started Wednesday with a birthday breakfast so we could include Grandma and Great Grandpa Jim in the festivities. Bacon and eggs and Cinnamon roll cake. (whoa...so good)

Then there was the day spent with sister (who was home w/ a bad case of poison ivy on her eye!) who wrapped up a book we already had as a present.  Also there was some swinging.

Mom Mom and Pop Pop came for an easy dinner of pizza and salad (we had care group at 7!) and there might have been a grumpy birthday boy at dinner. Then we broke out the Chocolate Chip cupcakes. He gently blew out his candles and got a little bummed out when his cupcake flipped and got frosting all over his arm. But as you can see above and below...he got over it.

1. Bubbles? 2. More bubbles! No I don't want your money, open my bubbles! 3.  I said open my bub...wait...is that a singing card? A singing dog card? YES!  4.  This Elmo guitar is top notch.  5. Tuning  6.  I play however I want, don't tell me to turn it around.  7. I'm giving guitar lessons now since I'm a natural.
