Celebrate Good Times...

Boone's 2nd Birthday was the most low key toddler celebration I have ever planned.

Largely because he is the 4th boy and his birthday requests included "Fries" and a "Ba-woon".

But also because as the youngest boy, on a Saturday in winter, you get to attend your big brothers' basketball games and then nap while they go to a wrestling tournament in the afternoon.  It's what we do.  It's his normal.  And it was a pretty great day to celebrate, no matter the obligations on the calendar.

Another part of being the youngest of four boys is the part where you don't really get to open a single present by yourself because there is such a plethora of "helpers".

Bless his heart he doesn't even care and welcomes his buddies right up in his grill.

Boone face timed with Grandma's & Grandpa's and was funny and sly and loved showing off some of his tricks.  He has no qualms with being the center of attention.

He wanted a "BWU birfday cake" and was thrilled with his home spun little number.  But when we lit up the candles he put his little hands over his eyes and said, "NO FIE-YO!"

We love this pint-sized independent fella and can't believe he has already been here on the third rock from the sun for two whole years.

We celebrate you every day... but especially on this day.

XO, Little Bud.
