I can't believe either of them was ever this little. A lot of hair has been grown between the two of them in the past three years!
We were planning to be in Birmingham the weekend of Colt's birthday, so my mom and I decided to have him a Peppa Pig party with our family. My mom graciously found cute decorations and even an adorable and yummy Peppa Pig cake. We were set!
But before we left for Birmingham, we had to do one thing...
Put up the big boy bed!! He loved his crib, so I didn't know how he would take it, but he loved it!! He has done so well at night. I was excited because he can get out of the bed himself in the morning. Both mornings he has woken up and said, "I'm ready to wake up." He won't get out of it by himself...sheesh.
Isn't this the cutest cake ever?! My mom found a girl on Facebook who made this. I didn't want to cut into it and ruin it!
I can't stand the cuteness! He is just the sweetest boy, and I want to eat him up! He got to put his own candles in..
and attempt to blow them out. Poor thing. You could see his hair flying up as he tried to blow out. He finally got it done and we dug in.
The cake was strawberry, and it was delicious!
We opened presents next. I guess when you are that little you don't remember opening birthday presents, and it's a little overwhelming. Everything was so cool, and it was about to blow his mind!! My family did so good, and got him things he loves! We got him this Peppa house, and it is the best thing! Auntie Beth and Uncle Billy got him a Peppa car, and he is set! He sat on the front porch today and played with it forever!
Meme found a game of Pin the Cake on the Plate. Everyone got a turn. Most everyone did good and got it close to the plate. However, I think Beth and I should have won. We are the two pieces in Peppa's mouth! But the winner was...
Avery!!!! Good thing, too, because her prize was Peeps. They didn't last very long in those little hands.
Sweet cousins had so much fun playing. I love Colt's smile in this picture. Pure joy.
In everyone's goody bag was a can of silly string. We went outside and tried it out. My poor kids had trouble getting it out, but Jack and Tate were chasing each other around. What a fun night!!
The next day was a glorious, warm day. We went to the park before we headed home. We had so much fun celebrating Colt's birthday with my family. My mom went above and beyond to make Colt's day special. We are looking forward to what Colty will learn and do this year. Whatever it is, it will make us laugh and love him even more!
