I wanted to keep it really laid back and simple, seeing as how he's TWO and all. Why stress myself out too much about something he won't even remember, right?
RIGHT.
I made up some invites in Photoshop and emailed them to my neighbors and my in-laws:
The only things on the agenda were:
-Stay in PJs.
-Cook pancakes & bacon for everyone.
-Open gifts
-Hang out
And, you guys, it was such a BLAST! The kids played, we chatted, and Myer got to feel special and celebrated!
I highly recommend doing early Saturday morning birthday parties. The kids were well-rested and didn't even have to change out of their Pjs... the adults sipped on coffee and ate yummy breakfast... and it was all wrapped up by 11:30, so it didn't take up everyone's whole Saturday!
Wonderful wonderment, I tell ya. Here's a few photos from the shebang:
chris cooked up the yummiest breakfast... while looking quite yummy himself. heh.
myer deeply contemplated the elusiveness of time as he monched his pancake.
then he stared out the window and mentally paid tribute to the days gone by.
then he looked at us all like he was worried for our sanity as we sang him 'happy birthday'.
the syrup flowed like wine.
ezra pretended to be a unicorn and then speared me in the temple. ow.
justin won the award for best pajama presentation.
myer finally figured out that opening presents is FUN rather than a form of torture! (Christmas was interesting.)
myer got a baby sized electric blue piano from MoMar & DooDad!(Soon you'll all be saying, "Mozart who??")
What fun! Happy Birthday again to my little moose!
