"Two" Much Fun!!

We are so blessed to have been able to celebrate Miller's Second Birthday with Family this past Saturday.

The theme was BALLOONS!! Miller lit up when he saw my sisters walking up with 24 balloons. I wish I could have seen his face, I was in the other room and could hear his excitement. We had a wonderful meal together followed by lots of presents.

Of course he had to play with each present right then.

Then it was time for the highlight of the party...C A K E!!

Miller had his own cake. He was more interested in the balloon shaped candles coming out of it than anything. He thought they were suckers so we had to give a real sucker just so he would cooperate. He picked at the cake a little but was not interested in digging in. Luke had to force him to dig in but all he wanted was to wash his hands.

Then it was on to the family cake. My sister found the idea on a blog she regularly stalks {found here}. It was not a hard cake to make but I will warn you it was very time consuming. It took me 3 days from start to finish, but I was extremely satisfied with the results.

We had a GREAT time with family and can't wait to celebrate many, many more!

Halloween!!

We started Halloween day by carving pumpkins. It was Luke and Miller's first pumpkin carving experience. Miller was very curious and even helped clean out the pumpkin.

After carving Pumpkins, we ran some errands, had a long nap, and then it was off to meet Me Me and Grandpa Don for Trunk or Treat at their church. Miller was VERY overwhelmed by everything he saw. His expression did not change much the whole time we were there.

At the first car Miller wanted to immediately eat his candy and we had to explain that he needed to leave it in his bucket and move on to the next car because he was going to get more. It did not take long for Miller to figure out what was going on. Before we knew it he was pulling us to the next car instead of us pulling him. It was TOO funny. His favorite part was getting to pick his own candy!!

Some people really went all out and dressed their animals up to match the theme of their vehicle. Of course Miller could not move on to the next car without giving them some attention! He LOVES ANIMALS!!

Miller was able to add to his costume at one of the vehicles. One family did not give out candy but painted faces. Miller was very apprehensive as you can tell but I think it made him even cuter.

After filling our bucket we met up with Grandpa Don who was giving away popcorn and then headed inside for some games.

Once Miller was done he loaded himself up in his car as to say let's go. So we went to grab a bite to eat and then headed home to light our pumpkin and greet any trick or treaters that ventured down our way...which none did.

We had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN and hope you did too!!
