Happy Birthday Zack -- aka Yikes I have a 2 y/o!

My baby, Zack is 2 years old now! How did time go by so quickly? Zacky's grandparents (Ben's parents) came from UT to help us celebrate his 2nd birthday. The whole family gathered at our home for a Sunday birthday dinner. Of course we had to have an Elmo theme.

When it came time for presents he was a bit excited but when the presents were taken away from him in order to have him unwrap another one he got a little upset and got off my lap and started to head up the stairs. Grammy, (my mom) asked Zack if he wanted some cake but he just ignore her and continued up the stairs. He was a little more then half way up when my mom asked if he wanted some ice cream he immediately flattened himself out and quickly slid down the stairs on his tummy. I wish we had our video cam out at that time. It was so classic and so funny. So we took a break from opening presents and had some cake and ice cream.
After he had his ice cream we went back to opening presents

He got a wide variety of cars, Thomas the train set, balls, Max and Ruby DVD, a recorder, clothes, my church ABC book, trike, etc.

The next day was his actual birthday and we celebrated again! (Shouldn't everyone have a 2 day celebration?) We gave him our presents. Gymboree bubbles, ABC little books, clothes and more trains! We had the leftover cupcakes, homemade mac and cheese with little smokies, green beans, fruit and some homemade rolls -- all of his favorites!

It was a great 2 days to celebrate our little monkey birthday. I am so absolutely blessed to be this clever little guys Mom!
