Race Car Birthday Party




Happy birthday to my baby boys!  No longer "babies" now, I guess.  They are 2!  I now have two two-year-olds!  Time to take a deep breathe and proceed with caution...aaaaaaahhhh!!   After going back and forth between having a big housewarming party and birthday party combination on the weekend we decided to go the easier route and just have a little play-date party on their actual birthday.  We "went all out" last year for their 1st birthday so this year I decided to relax and keep it a little more low-key.  So yesterday (Thursday) morning we celebrated with a bunch of their little friends, mainly moms that I have known and kept in regular touch with since Chloë was a baby and their kids.  Most of them are now onto their 2nd (and some 3rd) kids so it's really the second generation of kids that are the boys' age.  Of course their older siblings were invited so Chloë had friends to play with as well.  It was a fun time.  There were about 20 guests.   We all munched on brunch foods and drank coffees and mimosas while the kids played.  It started at 10:30am and the last of the guests left around 3pm!  Around 1:30pm I put the boys down for their naps but the party continued.   A bunch of people got in the pool, which was still reading a temperature of about 90 degrees...so very comfortable and relaxing.  The kids had a blast!

Eli ate 2 pieces of cake!  
Surprising because he usually doesn't care much for sweets.
