Birthday

Our little boy turned 2 the monday before Thanksgiving and I have been so busy since then that I haven't be able to post any pictures or anything! We were planning on having a birthday party for him in Idaho Falls with some of his cousins, but ended up not being able to leave when we thought, so we decided to stay home, go out for a birthday dinner and celebrate at home instead. That morning for breakfast I took him to the Merc. for donuts and juice. Then we went to visit a friend who's little boy turned 2 a few days before. When we left there she gave Austin a HUGE cup cake with frosting and sprinkles. When we got home I sang him Happy Birthday and then let him go to town on it. For dinner we went to Red Robin, a family favorite of ours. He had the yummy clam chowder and slurped up every last bite. After dinner was over they came out and sang to him bringing along baloons and a yummy ice cream sunday. He LOVED it. He thought it was soo cool. There was another birthday that night and they went to sing to them first, which was excellent becasue it got Austin's attention and he was standing on the seat trying to see who was making all the noise, then they finally came over and were all singing and clapping to him and he was just in little boy heaven. After that we came home and opened presents and sang, then he went to bed tired, full, and happy. It wasn't the best birthday ever, but it was good one. He knew it was a special day, and had a lot of fun.
