Finn's 2nd birthday

 Finnegan just turned two years old over a week ago. Leading up to his birthday, we went back and forth on when we would celebrate, how we would celebrate, and with whom. We decided that since one of my boy scouts was earning his Eagle Scout Award the night of Finn's birthday, we would celebrate his big day on the following day. It was just a nice and small family celebration, which was probably best since that whole week was just hectic. We will probably do a friend celebration next year.

Leading up to Finn's birthday, Grammy and Nana both asked what toys or games he would be interested in. We made a few suggestions, and I'm pretty sure they both nailed it because after he opened them he had a very hard time deciding which to use. Luckily, the garden tools the Grammy gave him are stored outside, which he always grabs when he is out. The tractor & dump truck Nana gave him are inside. He can now choose based on if he is inside or out, simple!

The morning after we celebrated, he woke up at 5:45 and walked gingerly into the hallway and stood in our doorway...wearing nothing but a diaper. He stooped down without hesitating and picked up right where he left off the night before to play with his trucks.

We got Finn a sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and the book Owl Moon. We figured we'd better get him ready for an adventurous summer!

Licking the spatula covered in his pre-oven birthday cake.

Made made sure we were dressed for the occasion. She insisted we wear capes while we ate Finn's birthday dinner of choice: pizza.

We did a Google Hangout with Grammy...

And Nana at the same time! Glad they could both see him blow out his candles.

Finn went all around the house testing his tools on our wood floor. Luckily, it's Pergo.

And his trucks. He loves making all the truck noises with these.
