celebrating my 2-year birthday

today i celebrated my 2-year birthday with family and friends. ryker came along with his mommy, and eliana joined the fun with her parents. kristi and josh also came to help us celebrate. we all had so much fun. although my official birthday isn't until the 17th, this was the best opportunity for all of us to get together. thanks everyone for making my 2-year birthday a blast. i love you all!

testing out my new strider bike...it's gonna take me a while
to get used to it

umma and uppa really wanted to get me a tee pee...
mommy thought it'd be a great reading place!

zzzzzzz! (not really, just pretending for the camera!)

eliana's mommy made me this cool shirt

go eliana!

on your mark, get set...

go!!!!!!!

taking a beverage break

ryker loved chillin' in the pool

eliana on her tippy toes...no wonder she seemed taller

mommy made me a birthday cookie

lots of cool stuff from family and friends...especially a lot of
new cars and trucks, my favorites!

a very merry christmas

i got to celebrate christmas in two parts this year. daddy, mommy and i got to open stockings on christmas morning and then we got to open presents on december 27th, after grammie and gampa came into town. grammie and gampa were in tennessee celebrating with mo, lula and my cousins. maybe one year we will all get to celebrate christmas together.

my new christmas jammies

i finally get to open these presents

mommy telling me the stories behind the ornaments

thank you mommy!

merry christmas simon

lots and lots of mega blocks

what else is in that stocking?
(notice the half-eaten sausage cheese ball in my hand...they were 
so yummy, i had about 3 or 4 each morning! i was never seen 
without a toy or a s/c ball!)

decorating a gingerbread train on christmas day

what a yummy train

my great grandpa cecil

i got to meet my great grandpa cecil (grammie's daddy) this weekend, and even got to be part of the baptism that gampa performed for him. he's a funny man and i'm glad i finally got a chance to meet him. hopefully we'll see him again soon!

happy 1st birthday!

here are a few highlights from my 1-year birthday celebration. thanks to everyone that helped me celebrate. it was so much fun!
