Theo's Second Birthday Celebration

We have had a great day celebrating Theo. We opened a few presents this morning and then had waffles for breakfast. We then visited the local park in the morning as a family outing. We invited friends and neighbours to a cake party in the orchard this afternoon and then finished the night with our traditional Pizza Hut Birthday Outing. All kids are in bed now, but I still hear our new two year old practicing his speech by repeatedly saying 'Happy Birthday Me' as he is lying in his bed. Here are some pictures and videos showing the day.

Jack and Addie both gave Theo a book for his birthday present. Jack picked this book on emergency vehicles since police cars - well really anything with a siren - are some of Theo's favourite things. Addie 'picked' a lovely book called Owl Babies. Here is a video with Theo opening and exploring the book Jack gave him



Given Theo's love for balls, we decided a football/soccer ball would be a good cake for him this year. I then decided it needed a pitch/field to go with it so we made rice krispie treats and dyed them green to complete the set. They turned out better than I could have hoped for.
