Birthday Party Fun!

Okay, so back over a month ago was Drake's party! Here are some pictures, although in reverse order.

After the party, all the cousins:

What's going through Tessa's head: "Crap, what have I gotten myself into! These people are crazy with a capital C!".
Opening presents at the party
Loving the ice-cream
Mommy and Daddy helped Drake blow out the candles. Turns out he didn't need us. (Sad face)
Obviously, she wanted more juice.

Oma and Opa were here from Buffalo!

Sweet lil' Baylor!
Tessa went down this slide no less than 20 times.
Our friends observing how times have changed;-)
Cheese pit! Drake was loving having his cousin to play with!
Oh, I heart this little face. My sweet baby.


And we marched!
And ran under the parachute...
And had an all around great time!

So funny...

I just have to share this...

During our trip to Disney this past March, my parents took Drake and his cousin to the fireworks. Drake called them boom booms, and my parents told him Mickey did the fireworks each night. Fast forward to the July 4th fireworks. Drake loved the fireworks, and kept saying "Thank you Mickey". I tried to explain that Mickey only did the fireworks at Disney, but his two year old mind can't quite comprehend that.

It's now mid July, and Drake is still OBSESSED with the boom booms. As in, goes to the window as bedtime is approaching, and says, "Peeeaaaasssseeee, Mickey, PPeeeeeaassssseeee, boom booms Mickey". And that's right, there's no L in pease. It's stinkin' adorable. Except I feel so bad for him, b/c all he wants are boom booms, and I can't do anything about it.

We're waiting for New Years.....
