Garrett's 2nd Birthday

For Garrett's 2nd Birthday we celebrated for 2 days!
On his actual birthday, Garrett, Daddy, Reece and I went out for Garrett's favorite food: PIZZA!
While we waited for our pizza to arrive, Garrett opened one of his first presents...
...he was excited to play with his new Woody and Bullseye characters from Toy Story!
CHEESE!
After dinner we headed to Wal-Mart to pick up a few last-minute items for Garrett's party the next day. As we were leaving, we spotted the game area and couldn't pass up letting Garrett go for a drive with Elmo!
He also went for a horseback ride - rodeo style!
When we got home, we dialed up Nana Kae via Skype on the computer and celebrated with Elmo cupcakes and a few more presents. It was fun for Nana to join in on the festivities!

Make a Wish!
I was excited to find this Little People School Bus book for Garrett - it is one of his favorite books at daycare but it's out of print. Fortunately Amazon.com saved me!
PARTY DAY!
On Sunday we had a small get-together with some of our close friends to celebrate Garrett's birthday. One of Garrett's favorite buddies, Brody, came & Garrett was a great host to his friend!
The highlight of the day for Garrett was when we showed him a giant bouncy house in our back yard. Below, Garrett and Brody get tossed around on their backs while the older kids jump & make the house bounce!
FUN Times!!
After enjoying ice cream sundaes, Garrett opened presents from his friends...
One of his favorites is this red fire truck from the Pearson family. It makes lots of noise, the ladder moves, and it rolls fast - perfect for a 2-year-old!
Garrett also received a Woody doll from his new friend, Adelyn (Darci's baby girl!). He loves to pull Woody's' string & hear his cowboy phrases. Below, Garrett is looking for Andy's name on the bottom of Woody's boot (as it appears in the movie) - but it wasn't there. Guess we'll have to put Garrett's name on the boot instead!
We had a fun-filled, low-key birthday weekend that I think Garrett enjoyed very much. We love to celebrate with fun, food, and friends...and that's exactly what we did!
