The Best Family in Town: Cole is 2!

Cole is 2!

Cole is TWO! Where has time gone? We were all set to celebrate in our true Best Family Birthday Style. I made all the invitations, the party printables and decor, had everything ready for the candy buffet, rented the bounce house, got his Little Monster outfit (to match the theme), and ordered the most adorable cake and cupcakes I have ever seen. Then the regrets came, so we had to cancel his birthday party.

BUT, being the family that we are, we didn’t let it stop us! Yes, I canceled the bounce house, the cake and the cupcakes. I put the bouncy balls, bubbles, play-doh, and decorations away (we did have some of the candy). Maybe we can use them next year. Then we spent the day together as a family, just the six of us. We played outside on the trampoline. Robert had rearranged his work schedule and worked on Sunday so he could be home all day and Cole LOVED having his Daddy home. We all napped together too (that was a HUGE blessing to this Mama!). We opened presents, ate chili dogs (some of Cole’s favorite food), and played on the trampoline some more. We baked brownies and then celebrated more when my parents made the trip to our house after work to see Cole. They brought cupcakes, we shared the brownies. We laughed and enjoyed a short visit before Cole told us night-night and fell asleep.
