Take what you can get

Well, I'm not sure I am ever going to get birthday pictures from Julian so we'll go with what I've got.

He was the super star of the day, being celebrated like a champ. We started off with chocolate chip, banana pancakes topped with whipped cream and a candle. He loved the candle and we had to relight it repeatedly. Even now, when we have pancakes he requests "fire".

After breakfast we went to church where Maddox was moved from "walkers" in the baby wing of the nursery to "2 year olds" in the awesome wing. He loves going there, with the slide, and basketball hoops, and coloring, and running around, it is all kinds of fun!
After church we were off to Grammie and Papa Myers' house for a birthday celebration with cake and LOTS of presents. It took a minute or two for him to get the concept of opening presents and after the first one he wanted to be done so he could play, but he soon caught on. The kid made out with some major loot, as you can see.

play guitar, real guitar, knit monkey backpack, books, play dough(tons of it), sweet new clothes, helicopter, puzzles,a cellphone, and CARS(swim trunks,sippy cups, books, and his very own Lightning McQueen)
Strider bike from Aunties Tiff and Piper and Grammie and Papa Perrine

Thank you everyone for showering us with lots of love and toys with batteries :) Your turn will come!

I gave him nothing. I still expect a thank you note.

I like how you posted this on YOUR birthday. Funny how kids co-opt our special days, right? :)
