Whoa, three birthday celebrations!

Dylan turned two this past Sunday. I can't believe it! Time has flown. Dylan's birth grandma did a very beautiful post on her blog about the day Dylan was born. With her permission I have put a link here to share it with all of you. It was very touching to me. If you have a minute, you should read it. I am so proud of Dylan's birth mom and love her so much.

This was taken the first time we met her. October 2006.}

Dylan was lucky enough to have three birthday celebrations! Preston worked the night of his birthday. We gave him some presents earlier in the day while Preston was still home and then went over to my mom and dad's that night. When we first got there my dad was waiting on the front porch for us to get there. It was cute, I love the way my dad gets excited to see the grand kids. Then when we went into the house, my mom had put up crape paper and a happy birthday banner. It was sweet.
Dylan and Maddie helped grandma make some birthday cupcakes. We sang to him and he blew out the candles. See video at bottom of post. It was funny, because I had no idea Dylan knew how to blow out the candles. I guess he's been to enough parties to see how it's done. ;)

We then went and delivered some cupcakes to Tim and Jess and then Lindy and Dan and cousins. On the way home, we looked at Christmas lights. The kids thought that was pretty cool, and had long attention spans for a two year old and a 23 month old. There is this house by my mom and dad's that has the lights to music. That's pretty awesome. I'd love to do that to my house someday. I imagine it's expensive though.

I made this cake twice, one for each family party.

On Tuesday we had a party with Preston's family. On Wednesday night we had one with my side. Dylan made out like a bandit with some great gifts!

Dylan got some money for his mission fund, lots of fun hot wheels cars, shake and go cars, wooden blocks, p.j.'s, Buzz light year, wooden puzzle, pull along puppy, big fire engine, bucket of dinosaurs, clothes, and a big crawl through tunnel. Whoa, this kid is spoiled!

Thanks SO much everybody for all the great gifts. I am really not kidding when I say Dylan ABSOLUTELY LOVES them ALL!

Watch this video, it's cute :) ummm, ya, I know I can't sing. a talent I was not blessed with. Maybe in the here after. lol.

I have taken so many pictures of Dylan and of his parties over the past few days. These are just some of them...
