Where has the time gone?

Today we had a party to celebrate Jonathan's 2nd birthday. Tomorrow is his actual birthday, but it still begs the question: "Where has the time gone?" It seems just yesterday he was a teeny little baby and we were bringing him home from the hospital. Somehow two years have passed and every day I feel so blessed to be his mother.

Right now he's totally into Monster Trucks, and generally anything with wheels. So, we decided to kind of theme his party around that. A couple of weeks ago my mom & I were checking out the bakery department at Wal-Mart & came across a "cupcake cake" that was decorated with toy cars & a monster truck. Well, that was all we needed to see & we decided to make a cake like that one. I have to say I was a bit intimidated by the whole idea; I had never decorated a cake before. Well, anything beyond icing & "Happy Birthday so & so". But, I think it turned out pretty cute. What do you think? I can tell you that I won't be starting a cake decorating business anytime ever in the near future. It's way too stressful for me. I'm very much a perfectionist when it comes to things like this & I was so afraid I was going to mess it up. In the end I was pleased with it though.




Jonathan really seemed to enjoy everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him. He certainly loves to be the center of attention. ;o)



There are skads & skads of pictures to go through from today. Thank you, Laurel, for being today's designated photographer. I'm so grateful for my friends who are always willing to step in & take pictures so that I can really enjoy the day. Rebecca often fills that position, but, sadly, she's sickly this weekend & wasn't able to come today. You were missed! I hope you're feeling better!

Well, I'm done for now. I'll try and post some more pics over the next couple of days. Stay tuned!
