Texas birthday

What is a Texas birthday you may ask? Anna did. She thought it was a birthday for everybody! Actually, it was just an opportunity for us to celebrate Jaden's 2nd birthday with Chris and our friends and family in Texas since we were away when he turned 2. And we got to have birthday cake and ice cream!!!

This is probably my favorite birthday cake so far. It's hard to tell from the picture but it was a really cool looking cake. It didn't taste too bad either!

Aww..the birthday boy
Can you tell that he's excited to blow out the candle?
Hold on, not yet...
Okay, go! It took him like 13 tries to actually blow out the candle. You'd have thought he was celebrating number 92 instead of 2!
This is his Texas birthday gift. I had something else in mind entirely but it wasn't available - maybe Santa can get his hands on it. Anyway, this went with the Spiderman theme.
He was sooo tired. He didn't nap at all. (He didn't actually fall asleep until 11 p.m. this night!) He was getting a little delirious at this point but was so excited to ride it. When I took this picture he had actually just run into the garage. He was totally focused on the little red button he had to push and wasn't paying a lick of attention to where he was going. I think he thinks it has an "autopilot" like the car on The Incredibles.
