Nicholas' 2nd Birthday

September 12, 2010

It was most definitely a "Toy Story" day!

But, Daddy ensured that Tinker Toys were included.

The birthday cupcakes were adorned with Buzz Lightyear!

At the end of the day, the clothes came off and the Buzz Lightyear backpack suddenly gave him special powers!!

Sophia Turns Four

Sophia woke to Joe and Amy singing "Happy Birthday" and breakfast in bed!

Her most memorable moment?  A cupcake for breakfast!

Her choice for Friday night dinner was "Incredible Pizza" - a gamer's paradise!

Nicholas had a blast, too :)

Popsicles ended the day!

The "Day After Birthday" Party

Several of Sophia's friends from the Parents' Day Out Program joined her for fun at Chuck E. Cheese

Disney World 2010

Joe, Amy, Sophia and Nicholas came to visit us. We spent 3 days at Disney World. Sophia loved it....she met several cartoon characters, had fun on rides, had lunch with Cinderella and some other princesses in the "castle" and had breakfast with Mary Poppins. Nicholas was happy to eat, sleep and abandon the stroller whenever possible! It was a wonderful time and the grandparents are ready for naps!!



At Cinderella's lunch, each child was given a magic wand. They were told to close their eyes, wave their wands and say, "bibbidy bobbidy boo" and the lights would come on. I love the sweet innocence of childhood!
