We had so much fun celebrating Gavin's 2nd birthday! We had a party with family (all 4 grandparents along with Aunt Mel and Uncle Aaron!) that got its theme from Gavin's favorite movie, Disney's "Cars." Cassidy helped me decorate with checkered race car streamers and balloons, and we made a figure-8 race track cake for his die-cast "Cars" characters to sit upon. (We tried making his cake with fondant icing this time. It was fun to try - but we all agree it doesn't taste nearly as good as delicious buttercream!) We started the party with brunch, then opened some presents from family and ate some cake. Gavin caught a glimpse of his cake after it had been cut to pieces and was nearly in tears. I think he thought the cake was
a toy that had gotten demolished somehow. He was yelling from his crib at the start of naptime, "Where's my birthday CAKE???" Anyway, we were so thankful to spend the day with family and we had such a fun celebration. The following weekend, on Gavin's actual birthday, we had some good friends and their kids over for a casual BBQ dinner and we had birthday cupcakes for dessert.
