The Birthday Boy and his party!

 

Happy 2nd Birthday, Walt!!!

 Walt's daddy got right over to the party after the baseball game was over.

  

Walt was excited about the 'birthday party' but didn't quite understand what a birthday is.

Well, that may not be true.  If you ask him how old he is...he would usually answer, "I am two."

 "Papa Greg" was there...and he was dolled up for the occasion!

 Sue was also feeling festive!

 Cousin Benjamin came (along with William and Sullivan!)...

Big Brother, Emerson, was ready to celebrate his brother's birthday!

I

Walt took a seat and was soaking it all in!

It was the perfect setting for a birthday party for a 2 year old who loves the outdoors!

When it was time to sing Happy Birthday, Emily realized she had forgotten matches.

Sue said she had some in her purse...

and she did...

but they were old...

and hard to light...

 Walt didn't really mind about the matches, he decided to sample the cake anyway.

 Emily put the hat on him...

and Walt was like, "I don't think so!"

Cousin Andrea was trying to help get a match lit...

We had success...and so we quickly sang happy birthday to our soon-to-be-2 year old!

 Walt not only liked the cake, but he liked the little cars on top!

 Emerson was happy for him, even though he's not a big cake fan.

 Emily started cutting the cake...

 Gabe grabbed a bib for the birthday boy...

 Everyone was enjoying celebrating 2 years with this little man...

and enjoying the beautiful weather at the park!

 Now you might be wondering why William would be eating cake with his hands...

well, when there are 45 details to remember,

sometimes, things like forks, for example, get forgotten.

 Tony, Andrea, and Natalie were there...

 Donnie was showing our newest addition, Sullivan, to Papa Greg...

who looks like he exchanged his party hat for a baseball cap.

 I wonder if Donnie was explaining to Sullivan that this was his first birthday party to attend?

Courtney is a great friend and she was there with her family.

 Papa, Sullivan, and Lindsey were excited to be here...

 Mimi, that's me, with my newest little man, Sullivan!

 OH BOY!!!!  Look what our two year old has?
A bike!

 A bike with a bell!

 I think Walt loves his bike, but he really loves the bell, too!

 Baxter was enjoying the party, too.

He had not been a very good puppy AT ALL during the baseball game!

 I turned around and there was Benjamin holding his baby brother!

What a lucky little guy Sullivan is...

and what a lucky big brother Benjamin is!

 Sullivan was a bit hungry...

he'll take a bottle, sometimes!  He prefers his sweet mama!

 Emerson had just finished an official baseball game, but now he was ready to play with his buddies!

 Casey and William were part of the game....

 Travis and Benjamin were part of the game, too.

 Walt was not part of that game, he was cruising around on his bike, and hanging out with everyone who had come to say Happy Birthday to him, and playing with the balloons.

 Sunflowers!  My favorite flower...

and there was a huge field of them behind the park.

Walt was going to check the sunflowers out...

He said he had had a GREAT birthday party...

and we all agreed!
