Aidan's 2nd Birthday

Aidan's is 2 years old! 
We had a lovely celebration with family this weekend and Aidan and we can't believe he's already 2. 

We decided to save all birthday festivities for a family party last night at our house. After a nice dinner Aidan got to see his awesome fire truck cake that his Aunt Rachel made. It was so creative and even had real lights on it!
Here are some pictures of Aidan opening presents with his two helpers (and best buds David and Danagan). The packing peanuts were the biggest hit (even though there were nice gifts in the box). Overall Aidan was spoiled with many nice gifts from those who love him. He is a lucky guy! We made him a play kitchen for his birthday which he found before it was time to open gifts. He came running to me with a pan in his hand and said "Mommy, eat!" and was very excited. It was such a great reaction to see after putting in many hours creating it for him. I will post kitchen pictures soon. 
 
As for our 2 year old. Aidan is very social and loving to those around him. He says "hi" to strangers and repeats it over and over. He is getting able to say more and more which makes it nice since he has stronger opinions about what he wants and can now communicate it to us. He loves fire trucks, snowmen, playing with his vacuum, dancing around, going to dance class among other activities. He is a great helper and I am amazed at how much he understands and can do. He loves to sing his version of the ABC song which doesn't really resemble the real thing. He can also sing most of Twinkle Twinkle little star. He cracks us up and has such a sense of humor. We feel so lucky to be his parents! 

Happy Birthday Aidan!

He is such a big boy now, I can hardly believe it! His kitchen turned out super cute, too :) I love that when we walked into church (late) he saw his girl-buddy and said "Aspen!" Very cute! Happy Birthday, Aidan! Hope you are all doing well these next few weeks until his best gift ever comes along - a baby brother!
