Liam's 2nd Birthday!

November 30th.  Liam's 2nd Birthday.  Crazy how time flies!  We did a Toy Story theme because that is what he is most interested in at this time.  We had our party at Nannie's house because she has more room.  We woke up that morning and had birthday pancakes with sprinkles.  I threw him in the bath real quick, got him dressed and then we made our way to decorate.  We had to stop from all the decorating and have a drink and relax on the counter..... 


Hollyn and Adalyn weren't going to be able to be there for the party so they stopped by before and dropped off Liam's present.


It was definitely a hit!


We rented the rocket bounce house from the base.  He loved it so much we had to deflate it to get him out of it!



Opening up gifts which the opening is his favorite part!






Aunt Maggie and Uncle Mark got him some cowboy boots!



He loves his books so every book he opened he wanted to sit down and read it!



Minions!!!!!


Money to go in his piggy!



I waited last minute to order his cake.  I just wasn't on the ball like I was for his first birthday.  Not thinking that it was a holiday weekend I was desperate for a cake.  I finally found Kathy Carney who was available to do it for me and I am so glad she could because she did an amazing job.  I am very picky about the look of my cakes and she was spot on!  We did a small red velvet cake that Liam blew his candles out on and then I had alien cupcakes for all the kiddos to eat. 



Opening his present from Granny Barker ...




Singing Happy Birthday and blowing out the candles ...



Four Generations of Barkers ....



It seems like just yesterday we were on our way to the hospital to deliver him and now look at him.  He is so smart and funny.  He amazes me at how fast he catches on to things.  His manners and mannerisms.  How snugly he is in the morning time.  How the first thing he does when he wakes up in the morning is tell me Good Morning and sing the good morning song.  He sleeps in his toddler bed for most of the night but usually ends up in our bed early morning.  His love for computers/tablets/phones and how he knows how to work each of them.  Knowing his ABC's, 123's and how to spell his name.  Is this all normal?  Is my 2 year old a genius or do all kids know this stuff?! We are so lucky to have this sweet boy in our life and can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us.  Happy Birthday Little Man! Mommy & Daddy love you more than you will ever know!
