10/15/09: John Turns Two

Seems impossible, but John turned two this weekend. He woke up ready to go, and was a fan of an early gift-- his first pair of cowboy boots.

For the last few months, whenever we asked John what he wanted for his birthday, his only answer has been "blue cake." Miranda invested a ton of time in delivering his birthday wish in the form of a Thomas sour cream pound cake with tons of blue icing.

All of John's family and friends were able to help him celebrate-- both sets of grandparents, all of his aunts and uncles, and his great-great uncle Gene.

John's cousin Craig helped John with present opening when John started losing steam. The boys had a great time playing with John's new train set.
