Neil's birthday party!

Neil is now a big two year old. The pictures are in reverse order, so if you want to see them in order, start at the bottom of the post and go up. =)
Neil says thank you to Grandma and Grandpa, Aunt Breanne, Aunt Kristina, Uncle Tyler, Scott, and Mike for coming to his party and for the cool new stuff!

Aunt Breanne opening Neil's new truck from Grandma and Grandpa Anderson. They all loved this truck. This is Gordon's favorite of Neil's presents. The boys had lots of fun playing with all of Neil's new toys.

Neil's new Mega Bloks truck from Matthew and I. Look, I was there! I recall it being rather warm in our house; perhaps that is why I am so shiny.

Neil loved all his presents, but this ball from Aunt Breanne was a definite hit with Neil.

Neil was really excited about the presents. He was even drooling over them or maybe that's because he has been working on getting some teeth in. Those eye teeth sure make him drool lots.

After cleaning up the cake mess, we opened the presents.

Neil was much happier when I gave him a clean cloth to clean up. He ended up needing a little help, though =)

Cousin Mike was a little less messy because he is more proficient at using a fork.

Neil got really mad once he realized that the cake made his hands messy.

Neil fascinated by the consistency of the cake.

Thanks for blogging Lisa, I saw you online earlier today, but was so busy I didn't call you, sorry.
I love these pictures of the boys. It looks like you have a comfortable and happy life. I wish we could be there to experience life with you, but these online communications sure make a difference. It tears at my heart a little bit to see how much everyone is growing and changing, except I realize my own children are doing the same thing at the same distance away. We love you, and our hearts are with you---Kara

Lisa,

I just realized we got almost the same cake for Nick's 3rd birthday party! The Lightening McQueen and Mater sure is a big hit with these little boys!!

Yep, they love Lightning McQueen. Neil picked out what he wanted himself. I can't believe Nick is already 3, he was just a little guy when I saw him last. I can't wait to see everyone again. It feels like it has been forever.
Hey, Joan, I am not able to see your blog, can I be invited to see it?=) or is it more like a private journal?
