He's no longer my my baby, he's my 2 year old!

We had a great weekend. I took off work on Friday and we spent the day as a family celebrating Ethan's birthday. When I was growing up my mom always made us Orange Rolls for our birthdays and special ocassions. I decided that I wanted to continue that with Ethan. So this year and last we had Orange Rolls for breakfast (and scrambled eggs and bacon).








Then we went to the mall, wandered to the Disney Store and found a Buzz Lightyear doll. A Buzz Lightyear doll on clearance. On clearance for $2.39. It was a must have. If you only knew the obsession Ethan has with Toy Story right now you would understand the amazingness of a $2.39 Buzz Lightyear. I almost bought two.





Later, while Ethan napped, I worked on decorating his Pablo cake. I baked it the night before and put it in the freezer to frost easier.

Ethan wanted to help or just eat the frosting

It's by no means perfect but not bad for my first attempt at doing anything more to a cake the plain frosting. And I'm thinking of writing a letter to Wilton because the color of blue on the can is CLEARLY not the color that came out. Much to my dismay. Good thing Ethan doesn't care about shades of blue.

We also went to Pumpkin Town. Ethan loved the hay.

But not the pony ride.

We ate pizza at The Hideaway and went to my mom and dad's for cake, ice cream and presents.

Ethan received Buzz, Woody and Jessie dolls, books, puzzles, The Jungle Book (which I can't wait to watch...anything other than Toy Story), a tool bench, bike....the list just goes on. He was so thrilled with Woody and Buzz he didn't even eat his cake. He blew out the candle and ran to play. I offered cake. I offered ice cream. Mom offered both. Nope. He had what he wanted.

It was a great birthday.
