lukie turns 2

Our puppy dog eyed, curly blond haired, little vacuum lover, Luke turned 2 today.  It was so fun to have a day dedicated to celebrating our sweet boy.  He is so special and so loved!

Luke started the day snoozing away in all of his cute, edible glory.

He woke up to balloons, streamers, and his whole family smiling at him and telling him Happy Birthday.  He said "Happy Birthday" back to us, and then immediately began exploring his new play kitchen that was all set up for him.  He LOVES it...and so do the other kids. :)

Then, he was off to act his age.  He got into Mary's room and painted himself with her nail polish, while I was busy getting the other kids off to school. (no pictures, sorry)

Then we went to the gym and to the grocery store, where he picked out his favorite Popsicles and immediately ate 2 of them.

He came home, had a nap, woke up, got into the fridge and poured at least 1/2 a gallon of milk on the floor, while I was helping William with something.

I guess he gets some redemption points for trying to clean it up.

Once Mary and Sam got home, we went to our favorite ice cream place and got ice cream cones.  Luke's favorite is orange swirl.

Next, it was outside to try out his new tricycle. 

I think he likes it!

And of course, he had to escape into the field, under the fence, into the neighbors garage to hunt for vacuums, and last, but not least, run through the sprinklers about 100 times.

After his outside adventures, it was time for dinner and playing with siblings until dad got home.

After hugs and kisses from dad, it was time for his Birthday cake...or pie.  He loves yogurt, so I made him one of our favorite desserts, yogurt pie.  He loved the candles, and we loved watching him love the candles.

still trying

Once the candles were blown out, and before we could cut into the pie, Luke dunked his half eaten soggy cookie right into the middle of it.  Oh yeah!

After pie, it was time to play with balloons and get energy out, before heading off to bed.

I think it was a Birthday well spent for this 2 year old of ours.

We sure love you Luke!  Happy Birthday Sweet Boy!
