Parker turns 2!!!

Yes he, and I, made it to his second birthday. It started out with my family's tradition of donuts with a candle. (We normally got them in bed but there was no way Parker was getting a chocolate donut in his bed.) This is his face while we, Mackenzee and I are singing to him (Mac worked his entire bday so we really didn't celebrate until Saturday) If you have read any of my blog you know Parker doesn't like to make things easy. This is how the pre donut experience went:
Me & Mackenzee: Happy Birth...
Parker: NOOO
Me: What?
Parker: ZenZee too (he wanted Mackenzee to have a candle in her donut too- probably because she had asked and I had told her no because it is Parkers day- you have to give him credit for caring)
Me & Mackenzee: Happy Birth...
Parker: NOOO
Me: What?
Parker: ZenZee (pointing to the candle- he wanted hers lit)
Me & Mackenzee: Happy Birthday to you... (finish song)
Me: Blow out your candle. (Mackenzee does and Parker keeps trying. He finally accomplishes it with the help of sister and mom) Yeah Parker you are so big.


Me: How old are you Parker?
Parker: This is him saying three while holding two fingers up.
Mackenzee: Am I 5 now since I blew out my candle?
Me: Just because you blew out a candle you are not 5. You have to wait until your birthday.
Mackenzee: Oh.


Saturday we had a little party. We were going to do Buzz Lightyear but couldn't find any decorations. So we did Peter Pan (equally as important to Parker) Here is his cake:Yes I made it. See the scaffolding- giant pretzel stick? Everything was going good until I was about half way done icing the ship, it started to crack in several places. The pretzels did the trick. I dont know if you can see from this angle but Wendy is walking the plank. Parker loved the cake but had a hard time letting me use his figurines. We had a few friends over for cake and ice cream.

I think he was a little nervous of the candles so Mac helped him.

All the guests. I was filming so my friend got to help hold the babies.
I don't know if you can see the tablecloth but it is Neverland with Capitan Hook plates, cups and napkins. Then the treat bags are little treasure chests. Parker also got a pirate balloon.
Next it was present time...
Disney Figurines... Disney Lego... Disney Plush... Disney PJ... Basketball Standard... Remote Control Car... Pirate Book... Money. Thank you all!!!

He played the rest of the day with all of his new stuff. Tomorrow we are going to Disneyland for the end of his bday celebration (hoping it does not rain). And let me tell you he is EXCITED to see Buzz and maybe we will be lucky and see Capitan Hook--- come to think of it I have never seen Peter Pan.
