Since we celebrated Liam's 2nd birthday FOUR TIMES this year...I'm worried he has developed a bit of a complex. I mistakenly assumed that breaking the celebrations into several smaller parties instead of one ginormous one like last year would be less stressful. Note to self: a party is a party and requires a lot of work no matter the size. Next time, just pack it in and call it a day. Oh well, I think Liam got the point that we are SO HAPPY to have a darling two year old boy!
Party #1: Charles Family Birthday Dinner
Complete with brain (tuna) casserole and body-part cupcakes, this was a great way to start of the week of festivities. Thanks Charles fam for loving Liam! He's obsessed with his new puzzles and I'm sure will be brainwashed into loving his new BYU warmups.
Party #2: Grammy and Papa's Delivery and Presents from Mamma/Dadda
Liam will be stoked when he actually figures out how to make his plasma car go without his feet! He's a huge fan of his new tunnel/tent combo, Leaptop ("Compooter"), and Playdough Tools.
Party #3: Birthday with Buddies!
What's a birthday without friends? We invited the Jacksons and Kimbles over for a non-stressful, low-key taco-night dinner/party. Liam loves Crew and Peter and is always excited to see them. The kiddos played trains, tunnel, Thomas the Train football (Thanks, Jacksons!) and bulldozer (Thanks, Kimbles!). Oh, and more body-part cupcakes. (The cake is merely a vehicle for the frosting.)
Party #4: Rawson Spooky Family Birthday Dinner
My Mom is sort of into Halloween...don't you love her table? The menu featured Witcher-Schnitzels with Super-Dead-Dog, Bat-Blood Chili and Krunchy-Kritter-Kraut toppings...among other delicious treats. I made Liam a special guitar cake to wrap up the week and we topped things off with a little game of Pin-the-Nose-on-the-Jack O'lantern.
Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet pumpkin! We are so proud of the big boy you are becoming and love you to pieces. And no, you won't have another birthday party for a whole year!

What a party animal! We love you Liam. And ur new hair cut is adorable
So now at one, two, ye ole adage of, "one, two buckle my shoe", now fits. Three and four is, "shut the door", a task he undoubtedly learned around one? Oh well, the poem is backwards, and me thinks that Liam is simply B E A U T I F U L!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
