Biggie Boy is TWO!!

[01.29.11]

This year for Drake's birthday party, we decided to go with all things Mickey.  He has been a Mickey lover for quite some time and when asked what kind of party he wanted, his reply was always, "a mickey party!"  We decided to keep it rather small and simple this year due to last year's orneriness and I am so glad we did.  He was so much happier this year and had a great time playing with everyone and didn't cry at all.  The biggest hit of the day, hands down, were the Mickey and Minnie balloons.  Tet ran to the store to grab a few last things for us on the day of the party and returned with Mic and Min.  Drake was in heaven!  He ran around with those balloons all night and for weeks afterwards. We were so fortunate to have so many of our wonderful family with us to celebrate the babe's birthday.  Tet flew in all the way from Ohio, mom and dad and Rhys and Pam drove up from STG and Grandma and Mike came down from SLC.  The sibs were here, of course... we love having them so close! All in all, it was a really great night!  Drake was in a super good mood, even with a house full of people and we all had fun watching him run from toy to toy!  

The After Party

After the party was cleaned up, we all headed downstairs to play the Wii.  B & B brought it along so we could have some Mario Cart tournaments and Big was not about to miss out on the action, cupcake mouth and all! The concentration on the faces of B and Lissa are classic!  It was a pretty intense race, obviously!
