Luke's 2nd Birthday

It is hard to believe that our little baby is already two years old. It seems that the days have passed slowly, but the months and years have gone by (too) fast.
On Luke's actual birthday, he came to see Mommy in bed just like usual, and I surprised him with a bouquet of balloons and "Happy Birthday to You." He asked me to sing it "more" about 5 times ... so, of course, I did!

After a favorite breakfast of yogurt, fruit, and french toast, we met up with Grammy (aka "Day") and headed to the Children's Discovery Museum. I think that we might have explored the entire place, but there is so much to see. The highlight for Luke was certainly the fire engine (which we visited twice - on the way in and the way out). He also really loved the water exploration area and the Curious George exhibit.




On the way home, we picked up McDonald's for Luke: chicken nuggets and a vanilla milkshake - YUM! He took a nap at my mom's while we enjoyed massages (that was my mom's gift to me on Luke's birthday - pretty nice!).

Daddy arrived home early from work to play with Luke, and we enjoyed a dinner of Luke's favorites: fruit salad, smoothies, and yet again, french toast (the rest of us also had eggs and bacon to complete our meal!). Then it was time for presents ... a fire truck and a trampoline from Mommy and Daddy, and a tool bench set, books, and an outdoor swing set (to come later) from Grammy and Poppy.
To top off the evening - cupcakes! Luke looked at us as though we were crazy while we sang, but was happy to blow out his candles and dig into his banana cupcake with cream cheese frosting!


Lucky Luke! Lucky us! What a fun day!
