Connor's 2nd Birthday Party!

I cant believe that Connor will be two next week! It seems impossible to believe. I am sorry I am late posting these, but I was up till midnight addressing Christmas cards last night and figured those were a bigger priority to get out right now. We had a wonderful celebration for Connor this year- of course it was a Mickey party! Connor is still hooked on the mouse and it is all he talks about. Handy Manny comes in a strong second as he loves him too. We had quite the crew for his party and Brad and I are already talking about having his party at another location next year! That is the bad thing about having a winter birthday, there arent a whole lot of options. Chuck E Cheese or Pump It Up are calling my name next year! Thank you to all who came to spend your day to help us celebrate! Connor had a great time and got many great gifts. My house looks like a train wreck at the moment as he has pulled them all out. Probably his most favorite toy is the Craftsman tool bench that An Am and Uncle Pete got him. He loves the drill! Me- not so much. It has a dental office vibe if you know what I mean!! I already told Brad to tell Amanda that payback is coming as soon as I have a niece or nephew. Ha! My favorite toy is probably the toy box that Mom got him. Now I finally have a place for all of these toys and it helps to make my living room a little more tidy. The chair he got from Aunt Janice and Monroe is also exceptionally nice and means a lot since it came from their own sweat and hard work! Those gifts are always the best! Thanks to everyone- Connor really does love everything he got. Here are some pictures of the party and sorry there are so many. I didnt feel like being choosy so I just included them all. I cant believe that my baby is turning 2!!! I continue to love this age, he is becoming quite comical with his growing vocabulary! I have to tell this funny story, to start Connor has been talking about his Pipey party for a while. Pipey is what he calls Mickey, in case you didnt already know. Well, the other day Connor was in his bath and I was in the closet getting a towel when I looked at him he was looking down at you know what. I said, Connor are you pee-peeing and he looked up at me, smiled and said and I quote, "I'm having a Pee Pee party!" I of course died laughing! The things they come up with...

My first attempt at a Mickey birthday cake. I saw this online and was like, I can do that. No special cake pans, just a round 9" and two small round pans for ears. It took 3 hours but it was worth it to see Connor's sweet face when he saw it!
His first birthday gift from Rebecca that Brad and I work with. It was so sweet of her to think of him!

He loves his new tractor!
