Alec celebrated his big 2nd birthday this Saturday! We had plans for a great outdoor party in the park, but as it goes with Mother Nature, we woke up to very overcast skies and rain. We waited until about noon, hoping it would clear up, and then threw in the towel and decided we needed another option. We had initally said we would just move the party to our house, but after re-counting the number of guests, and kiddos, we decided that wasn't going to work either. I went out on a limb and called the club house in our neighborhood to see if I might be able to have the party there, and ended up getting lucky. They had a room available and so we switched venues. It was a little chaotic, but it ended up working out perfectly. The woman who teaches Alec's music class came to the party and did a class for him and all his buddies. It was a total hit, and I think all 14 of the kids in attendance enjoyed it. Alec was particularly entertained, and seemed to know it was his party b/c he spent about half the class in the middle of the circle dancing and performing for the crowd, something he has never done at music class. All in all, it was a great party and we think Alec really enjoyed himself. He is a lucky little boy who is loved by many people and Matt and I couldn't feel prouder of him. He has made the last two years the best of our lives and we are amazed at how our love for him just continues to grow. Here's to our two year old.
