Happy Birthday, Michael!

Michael turned two years old on October 6.  Our "little" guy had a great day.  He had lots of fun opening presents.  He loved his new stacking train from Mom and Dad.  He also loved the garbage truck and car carrier from Grandma Perry.

We didn't really celebrate with cake on Michael's actual birthday.  That is a long story that requires a separate post.  Michael didn't mind at all because he had a great big "Happy birthday" balloon.  Balloons are one of Michael's favorite things in this world!

On Sunday, October 14, we finally celebrated Michael's birthday with cake.  We spent the evening with the Petrucci family for dinner and then ate some allergen free cake.  

I'll post the entire story about the birthday cake later, but here is a picture of the final attempt at making a birthday cake that was allergy-free for Michael and decent enough for the rest of us to eat too.  That is quite a challenge when dealing with Michael's long list of allergies!  Michael loves "Blue's Clues," so he was absolutely thrilled with his cake.

Michael loves listening to everyone sing "Happy birthday" to him.

Happy birthday, Michael!  We love you!
