It's party time!!


It is finally here! We have been prepping for this party celebration for 2 months :) Michael was just so excited to spend the day with his little and big friends! Before Michael's guests arrived, Mommy and Charlotte baked and decorated the birthday boy's cupcakes :) They turned out awesome and tasted great! Michael also Skyped Mamaw and Papaw while eating his pre party snack. Everyone arrived around 2 pm and began to play and snack on Mini Nilla's, Goldfish and Cheetos's :) Daddy cooked hamburgers and hot dogs for all the big kids and made some yummy pasta salad too!

Here are some photo's from the party :)
Michael cheesing!

Last but not least, Luke!!


Michael was crushing on lil Rainey :) How could you not? She is just precious!


Michael not only enjoyed spending the day with his little friends, but 3 of his teachers from Daycare also came to celebrate with our little man. He just adores his teachers, Amy, Stephanie and Jenn :) Here he is with Jenn and Luke!


Rainey and mommy Melissa had to leave early :( Brooklynn and Michael didn't want her to go but they came over to say their good byes. We really enjoyed spending some time with the Lindeman ladies!


Now we can't forgot Ms. Ellie!! Michael has always enjoyed his play dates with her. He even got to celebrate with Ellie on her first birthday a month ago :) She enjoyed helping Michael open and play with his presents. They are just too cute!


Auntie Charlotte gave Michael so many wonderful gifts. Not only did she make some beautiful safari themed pillows for our little man but also gave him some great books! Michael LOVES books!

Unfortunately, Auntie Andrea and Uncle Ben couldn't make it :( They moved to California after they got married in June but they sent Michael a wonderful alphabet drum for his birthday!

Ok, I couldn't resist! I had to post this picture! Ellie is totally "chillin."

Piano from Mommy and Daddy!

Michael got to spend the entire day with Auntie Charlotte! They hung out before the party and even after! Charlotte took some other birthday pictures for us, which we will post in his 1 year blog :) She also gave little man his bath! Thanks for coming Auntie!!!

It is cupcake time!! Everyone sang Happy Birthday too :) We got that on video!

Mommy and Daddy got to blow the candle out :) Gotta love Daddy in his party hat!

Soooo, little man is not into sweets. Never really has been. The story here is Michael has had 2 cupcakes, one at Daycare and one at Ellie's party. Both times he consumed the icing, he broke out in hives. We think he was a little traumatized from his experiences as he wanted NOTHING to do with the icing or cupcake. The doctor thinks he is allergic to blue and red dye so we made sure his cupcake was white icing/white cake :)

We attempted to put the cake and icing in his mouth but he wouldn't have it. He didn't break out in hives though!!
Luke totally loved his cupcake! He ate the entire thing!

Little Brooklynn and Luke eating away :) We love these kids!

So Ellie and Brooklynn became great little friends! Can't wait to play date with both Amy's, Ellie and Brooklynn :)

Ellie giving her man a smooch!!


We can not thank everyone enough for making Michael's birthday so incredibly wonderful!!! The celebration was a HUGE success!! Can't wait until next year :) We love you all and Michael sends you all KISSES!!
