Tyson has now officially reached his second birthday. There were days when I wondered whether I would let him survive to this point, but we somehow made it! He definitely understood more of what was going on this year and it was fun to watch him get excited about opening presents and blowing out the candle on his birthday cake. I also came to the conclusion that the amount of work and stress that goes into the party is all up to me. My theme this year was to "simplify." His dinosaur cake was of minimal time and effort, and the meal plan was all decided upon by the amount of time in preparation. My parents kindly volunteered to let us use their bouncy castle to entertain the kids, and I put Brad in charge of setting up the pinata for the little ones. I feel that this years' party was a success merely due to the fact that my stress level this year was cut down at least by half in relation to Tyson's last birthday party. Brad and I got a little ahead of ourselves in excitement of our growing boy, and gave him a bike that is a little too big for him at this point. Oh well...live and learn. We are so grateful for Tyson and all he adds to our family. He is truly a joy!

Thanks for inviting us to the party, it was good times, as usual. I'm also glad you weren't as stressed out this time around, it's always better to enjoy a party you worked so hard on.
