Happy Birthday to Hyrum!

Good morning to the birthday boy. Per tradition we do gifts in the morning which now entails getting up extra early before school.

We have been telling in it's almost his birthday for a while. And he didn't really know what we were talking about but as soon as he woke up he was very excited. Birthday definitely meant something good. 

He was a little leery of the monster bowling at first just because of the texture but he fell in love with them soon and now all the big kids want to play with them too. 

Of course he was ecstatic about the lightning McQueen pj pants and he wanted to wear them all day. 

Loved that he got his own name pillow like the big kids. 

Snuggling in his quilt. I always thought he would like the bug jar fabric the best but his favorite is the buttons. 

He had fun running around in this box forever. It was super funny, we took a video and he thought it was so funny to watch himself. 

Hyrum was so excited to help make the cupcakes for his birthday he wanted to eat one as soon as they came out of the oven so I had to let him have one. Also his best friend Lincoln came over to play for a bit. Then we went to lunch with Taylor and he got "pizza!" 

After naptime we played and then are macaroni and cheese for dinner and then we ate cupcakes. Hyrum picked out this pumpkin cake from Pinterest. He was so excited about the fire in the candles. Whenever I asked him if he liked his birthday he would say "fire!"  

After all the Halloween festivities he was pretty much in heaven. He sang to himself in bed before finally falling asleep around 9:30. He basically thought it was the best day ever. 

I can't believe my baby is so big. How have 2 years gone by? He is such a cutie and loves to get involved in whatever the big kids are doing. They are usually happy to include him in their games. He loves running down to the park with them. 

Every morning he and I play Legos after we go walking by the lake or to the gym. He LOVES his Legos. We have had such a fun time this year with just us two at home. I am loving this special time we get together. He is always happy when we are out and about and he loves to yell "yeah!" Whenever I say what we are going to do, whether it's laundry or the park. Love this adorable little man and his awesome blonde hair and dimples.
