"Because good food and good company go hand in hand"
My sisters and mom came down for the birthday party- i just don't see them often enough and love every minute of it when we actually get the chance to be together.
Since Beckam has been so into Finding Nemo this year, I decided to make it his theme. He has loved this movie and I find him yelling "NO, Nemo- NO!" to himself when he is playing by himself.
Jaeli, Aliah, Draden, and Brooklyn: the clan that is inseperable when they are together. I love it!
All the kids gearing up to take a swing at the pinata.
The birthday boy took the first swing, gave a tap or two, then shared the bat with the next excited swinger.
Brooklyn hit it so gently and delicately- so funny. She's such a dainty little thing, yet fiercely feisty at the same time. I don't know how that works, but she makes me laugh.
Draden up to bat. He did a great job and got some good hits in.
I'm so glad Jason thinks he is so funny playing tricks on the kids!
Here is Nik who takes anything with a bat or a ball to the Nth degree- he is one kid who lives by the theme "play hard or go home" and is an amazing little athlete.
And of course he broke the one-eyed little fake Nemo pinata to bits. The kids went wild forming their own little piles of Nemo fruit snacks and candy.

Opening the presents was fun for Beckam this year- unlike last year. It was cute to see his reactions to things. When he opened clothes he handed it off to another kid saying "there ya go", but with toys he would look at them intently to figure out what it was supposed to do.
This was the highlight of the night- Buzz Lightyear- causing a few arguments to infinity and beyond with his best buddy, Jaden. It was rough for them to share with each other since Buzz is both of their favorite toys to play with.
This gift is from Aunt Sue, who always decorates the gift bag with the theme of the party she is attending. It was a never-ending bag of gifts. Thank you Aunt Sue and Uncle Ken for all your love and support!
The Nemo Birthday Cake. It turned out a little different than we had originally planned, but I was still very happy with it. Beckam loved it. The older kids were fighting over who gets to eat the eyeballs!
My crew of help and the ones who helped make it all possible.
Thanks so much!! It was a blast.
Blowing out the two little candles- he did it (with a big wish that his mommy will throw many more parties in the future).
Happy Birthday two year old! I can't believe my baby boy is 2 already. Thanks for all the joy and happiness you bring to our lives!!!!
