Birthday Weekend

People came from far and wide (well, mostly from Texas) to celebrate Leo's 2nd birthday. The festivities started Friday and went through Sunday:

First, we had the annual "picture of Leo with mommy while mommy wears her Leo 08 shirt." This tradition was started by Jacquie and somehow hers always turn out perfect. Weren't any of her kids ever terrible two-year-olds? Cause this was the best I could do!
Then off to lunch at Party Chic with mommy, Granny Jo and Rah Rah.

And if taking him to a girlie lunch place wasn't bad enough, we took him to a girlie store to shop afterwards. Luckily, he found the one boyish item and just like most men, sat while we shopped.

That night he opened presents (this would continue into the next week)!

On Saturday we had Leo's birthday party in the park. It was a sports theme so we brought his basketball hoop along. He dribbled while waiting for his guests to arrive.


He shoots, he scores! (And how do you like his custom t-shirt by the way?)


You know that whole saying about herding cats? So much easier than getting two-year-olds to pose for a group picture!


Had to get a picture of the picture-takers!


The three musketeers--all two years old now!


The pull-apart cupcake cake tasted as good as it looked!


Sugar rush!

On Sunday Leo went to his first baseball game--the minor league team for the Braves.

It was John's first baseball game too so the boys celebrated with a hug:

A rookie no more!





Happy Birthday, Leo! If this is anything like Christmas, you'll still think it's your birthday in August.

That was the best baseball game I ever attended, due to a little fan who seemed to have the best time of all.
