We started the tradition of taking each child on a date with us for their birthday. That's when they pick their birthday gift and they get to choose something special and fun to do with us.
We brought Tave to Toys R Us to pick out a tricycle!! He was SO excited and loved sitting on each and every one. (The one we bought had to be assembled so there aren't pics yet...)
After the toy store, we let him choose if he wanted to get an ice cream cone or pretzel bites. My kiddos LOVE pretzel bites, so of course, that's where he wanted to go. He was adorable and kept dancing and running around while we all snacked on our treat. Everyone at the mall kept stopping to watch him perform. What a ham!
We had tons of fun and loved spending one on one time with our 2 year old!
After our date, we headed back to Shar & Trav's for a little celebration. We are doing a Ninja Turtle birthday party for both boys (which they are beyond excited for) but Tave also insisted on frogs. So we whipped up these cute and simple cupcakes for his birthday shindig. He got to open one gift (because Aunt Shar really wanted him to get something on his actual birthday!)
It was a perfect wrap up to a special day.
We LOVE our Tave-man!
ps. these cupcakes were a hit : the frogs are little stickers that I taped to a toothpick. Simple, easy, and each kiddo got to wear it the rest of the day. Perfect.
