two years old: the party

Since Asher's birthday was on a Tuesday this year we decided to celebrate the Saturday before so Drew and his parents could party with us!


Using the word party might be a bit of an exaggeration since it was just the 5 of us, plus Asher's friend Olivia and her parents - but we had fun! 



And our snacks were delicious, if I do say so myself.  :-) 



Asher's big surprise was a new train set and table. 


My favorite part?  The rolling bins under the table.  More storage - yay!


Asher loves it!  He loves anything Chuggington, so we knew this would be a winner.  





Drew and I got him a sit-n-spin that we think will be good for his core strength building.  As of right now he isn't quite sure how to get on it and is pretty scared of the whole contraption.  That's ok with me.  It's good to have some toys in the wings for when he gets bored with the other things.  ha!


Some of these decorations might look familiar.  I totally re-used his 'Happy Birthday' and 'Asher' signs from last year.  Hey - why not? 





Asher was really great at opening gifts this year!  He's a big fan of opening a present, then playing with it for awhile, then moving on to the next.  Don't try to rush him - he wants to appreciate each gift as it comes.  ha!





He also l-o-v-e-d opening his cards!



A happy day was had by all.  :-)

  1. That train set is AWESOME! I see why he would love it. I think I would too. He he.

    You are so clever, Emily- reusing last year's birthday decor. I might have to steal that idea for future parties.

    Everett received a Sit N Spin too!

    It looks like Asher had a great birthday. He looks real content in that last photo with the cake!

  2. Oooh, Eli has a Sit and Spin (a Christmas gift from last year) that has been sitting in our garage for a while (for several reasons... but partly because it was a big toy Eli didn't ever seem too interested in). Maybe we should bring it back in the house and have him build up some muscles!
