Van turns two!

Friday was Van's birthday. We had such a fun time celebrating. We had all the grandparents, 3 great grandmas, aunts and uncles. It was a very full house, and Van ate up every minute of it. I decorated the house with balloons and streamers while he was napping so when he woke up he was so excited to see the "laloons" as he calls them. I also made him a race track cake, which turned out so cute. He is such a great kid. He is fun and funny and enjoys life. I feel so blessed to have him in our family and look forward to seeing him learn and grow.

Here are some pics from the festivities...


Here is Van with his mountain of presents...this picture doesn't show just how many presents there were but his face is priceless.


How cute is this?


Sorry hun, I couldn't resist...this pic is just too funny.

Here is Lillie's version



And Joe's...he wouldn't eat it because there was coconut in the cake.
