Harrison is 2!

I can't believe our baby is already 2! We spent the weekend celebrating. Friday night, our friends Gyna and Max and their daughter Mia came to stay with us. They are only 7 weeks apart and had a blast playing together. Friday was Harrison's actual birthday. We gave him a train table, grill, lego table, and several books. He loves them all and could play with his train all day long!

For his first birthday party, I had a brunch for all the family and our closest friends. I wasn't quite sure how to make it really fun for him since he wasn't even walking yet! So I just wanted to surround him with the people who loved him and celebrate his first year.

But this year, I wanted to just make it the most fun experience possible for him. I invited all the kids in the family (that live in Austin), our closest friends, and some other kids that he regularly plays with and of course all their moms and dads! His Mee Mee and Pop Pop, Mim, Bama, Great Aunt Jenny, and Great Aunt Lynn were there as well.

We held the party in Bama's backyard because her yard is absolutely perfect! Flat and well shaded with beautiful trees! I rented a huge 15 foot inflatable bear that had balls swirling around inside. Kind of a weird concept, but I needed something that was safe and fun for even the littlest guests. A balloon twister came and the kids kept him busy! I had a coloring table, a sandbox table, and a ton of toys! It was a construction theme since that is his favorite thing. I bought a bubble machine that kept a solid stream of huge bubbles flowing throughout the party. Lynn did face painting and even the adults were painted! All in all, it was a blast and I know Harrison had the best time. Adam and I were so happy to do something so special for him. He is the sweetest boy and deserved a wonderful birthday party!
