Notice my amazing wrapping in the background.I had MANY things I'd redo over for this birthday (starting with making sure I'm stocked on paper).
But also, I wouldn't have had a major lapse of picture taking and missed:
His lunch of choice at McDonald's.
And how he fell asleep in the cart at Costco.
Playing with fishing poles indoor with Owen.
To name a few.
We celebrated tonight with a little fishing/beach get-together at Coastguard Pier.
Thank you to friends who: came on short notice (with gifts even), put up with the cold, brought their own dinner/ate before/ate after even though I planned this right during dinner time and didn't provide any (major faux pas that will not ever happen again), and were patient waiting for Justin to get back with bait.
Nothing was caught, but it was a fun thought.
Drew's #1 cake choice was the St. Patrick's Day cake with a rainbow & a leprechaun on top. I would've let him get it if I thought he'd like the flavor. This was choice #2.Another mistake...stopping on the way there to pick up a lighter but leaving the candles at home.
So he got to pretend.
But I've never seen his eyes light up so much as they did when we were all singing to him.
I wish I could show how grateful he was, thanking me randomly throughout the day.
And now he's asleep with his new toothbrush.
Happy birthday Drew!

Tell Happy Birthday to Drew from the Dunns. I remember when he was just born and so small. I can't believe how big he is now. You got some pretty cute kids!
Back to back birthdays, no wonder you forgot a few things!
I love kids that appreciate anything, sounds like that's how your are.
P.S. I love the pictures above sally's bed, where did you get them???

AHHH Happy Birthday Drew! Looks like a fun day. No one knew or remembered what went wrong I am sure. The cake sure looks YUMMY. I am hungry.
Do you remember his 1st birthday - the hungry caterpillar? Time flies (unless you're pregnant . . . or your husband is deployed). Happy Birthday Drew!
Ann - Lindsey designed the pictures above Sally's bed with her talented little self. I love em.
Jessica - Apparently it is a tradition to take pictures first thing. We walk in singing happy birthday with balloons and it's so fun to watch them disoriented then get all excited :)
Of all the things you were worried about with his birthday...he won't even remember...I would be happy just to wake up to balloons all over my room :) But to get an awesome cake and play at the beach too...Happy Birthday Drew!
Drew sounds like such a sweet boy.
You should not have done a million things differently! It was PERFECT! We all had a blast, it was just the right activity for the time of day and type of day. Dinner would have gotten sandy anywayz. And like you said. Drew had such a blast and KNEW it was his special day. and THAT is what matters most! Happy birthday, Drew!
