Sullivan turned two on Friday the 18th. We spent the day driving around Portland so we could meet Mike at the airport. Sully and I went to Trader Joe's and to Washington Square Mall so he could play on that neato indoor play structure. At TJ's he was given a balloon and the nice balloon-giving-guy also serenaded him with a funny version of Happy Birthday. At the indoor playpark Sully was about to burst open with joy. He would run over to one of the structures and then run back to me, squealing all the way, huge smile on his face, and bury his face in my lap. Then he'd run back to another piece of play equipment and repeat the process. He was filled with complete happiness.
This is my favorite picture of his sandbox birthday cake because you can see his little hand trying to swipe a gumball off the cake! I used graham crackers for the sandbox edges and crushed graham crackers and vanilla wafers to make sand to sprinkle over the top of the cake. Then I just piped some green frosting on the front-bottom to look like grass. It was far from professional-looking but I don't think Sully minded! 
He actually used that green shovel to eat his cake and ice cream.
We had a candy hunt with candy buried in the sandbox. This picture shows all the kids digging for loot.
Happy Birthday, Baby Boy!!
