Get ready for cute overload.

He woke up to find three birthday balloons:

Later in the day, we skyped with our parents to sing happy birthday to him:

It took him a couple of minutes to fully comprehend the awesomeness of his new garage (it really is amazing, Abby did a phenomenal job of discovering it and then finding one to buy):

I don't think he fully appreciates it yet

But he took to the cars right away:

Here’s one very happy two year old:

He played with his new garage for a solid hour while we skyped with my brother and sister. He was so focused on his new cars and garage that he barely paid any attention to the rest of us. It was nearly impossible to get him away from it and into the shower. He finally fell asleep at 10pm. I’d say he had a very good day.

Thanks again to each of our families for helping us celebrate his second birthday, I can’t wait to see you again this weekend!
