Rootin TWOtin Birthday party

Of course Anthony's birthday was a bit hectic with the birth of his baby brother just 5 days earlier! So he had a party with family and close friends a couple weeks later. Of course on his actual day we had his favorite foods at every meal. Bacon for breakfast, Tofu and rice for lunch, and Bama's spaghetti for dinner. He loved it.

Then a couple weeks later when Uncle David, Auntie Beth and Julian and Katie came to stay for a week we held his party. It was a wonderful day full of yummy food, family, friends and a nice WARM pool to swim in. Of course we left the solar pool cover on for the time Drew was born and all the way up till the party, WHICH was about 80 degrees. It was quite warm, but the kids loved it. ;)

Anthony loved being sung too, but STILL didn't eat cake. For a kid that loves cookies, why he didn't enjoy ANY of his two birthday cakes is beyond me. Didn't get that from me that is for sure! The frosting however was joyfully applied to his own face. Hmmmm.
A super funny story was a few months after his birthday, he came up to me with the two little Nemo toys, and said "Birthday Cake!" It amazed me that after a couple months he remembered that those two little toys came from his cake as the decorations!
