August is two!

At the beginning of January, we celebrated August turning TWO years-old!! How can that be?? His birthday comes so soon after Christmas and New Year's, which makes it a hard time for us to plan a party, but we settled on a Little Blue Truck theme, and I think it turned out pretty cute :)

We had a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and whipped cream frosting, and also baked ham and cheese sandwiches, plenty of chips, meringues, and devil's food donuts.

Our fam of five.

 

When his cousins came over, August was so excited to show them the party table, especially pointing at the cake. As always, all the kids played hard and had a great time!

It's never easy to get a photo with a two-year-old!

It was a really fun party, and we ended it by popping a giant "what's the gender of the baby?" black balloon. Pink confetti everywhere!

The next day was his actual birthday, which we spent at church and out to lunch with friends. Then back at home, we played with his new PJ Masks figurines and sang happy birthday again with some leftover cake!

 

 August is such a joy! He thrives off of the energy of his brothers, and he loves making us laugh. When he gives me his squinty-eyed smile, with the dimples that make me melt, I would buy him anything he wants in the world. He is all boy - loves cars, trains, puppies, throwing balls, playing drums or piano, and he has just entered that word-explosion phase, which is so fun to watch. Love you to the moon and back, baby boy! May you grow in wisdom and stature and love for Jesus!
