Ray turned 2 on the 13th! He is a cute 2 year old. I tried to let him do what he wanted throughout the day which is a little risky but low key. We played and stayed in pajama’s and ate junk food:

woke up Early with the big boys

eating on moms lap

potato head with his sisters

watching Tangled

help frost the cake

eating fun dip

playing balloons

Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim stopped by in the afternoon with a gift for the birthday boy- It was his special pillow with a pillow case for every holiday that Grandma made!

In the evening when the kids and Dad were all home we opened presents. We decided to go with one big gift this time and got him the “Sports Climber”. It’s a slide but it also has a basketball hoop and a soccer and football goal built into it. He is such an active boy and it seems to be a perfect fit. He and his siblings have already had hours of fun:

And then we had cake and ice cream. For some reason Ray freaked out when it was time to blow out the candles. He had been pretend practicing all day but when it came down to it he was tired and something set him off.

Raymond is a busy boy. He is always looking for fun or trouble. He brings a lot of craziness and joy to our family. Bring on the TWO YEAR OLD.
