Calvin the Birthday Boy!

Calvin is two years old today! We decided to celebrate last Saturday (since he really doesn't know the difference). We had a big party with all the family and, most importantly, with Daddy since he is in Paris this week for a conference. Calvin had such a good time! We spent the week teaching him that he is two years old, which is priceless to hear him say. This was really the first time that he was introduced to the joys of a birthday ... namely, presents and cake. He LOVED it! Dear Grandma and Grandpa drove up from Seattle for the day to party with us and brought Calvin this super cool new scooter. One of the biggest hits of the day were the helium balloons that Calvin released to go "fly with the airplanes". That was big fun. Calvin and cousin Graham watching the balloons with awe. Birthday cake time! He wasn't sure about being sung to, but really loved blowing out the candle and being able to eat ice cream! Cake time with his fellow cousins. They are so darn cute at that table. And his first ever real experience with present opening. He quickly warmed to it once he realized that those funny bags held cars and trains. And a super cool golf club from Uncle Tim. Although Calvin calls it the "wacker". Which is probably a more accurate description of its current use. Papa and Nana gave Calvin a little tool box that he got to use to help Papa put together his new tricycle! He kept saying they were "working boys" and took the whole assembly process quite seriously. And the birthday boy on the actual day of his birth ... my big two year old! Happy Birthday Calvin! We love you oh so much!
