Celebrating Duder's birthday

This year we didn't have a huge bash for his birthday like we did last year.  We've been a little busy and I realize that most 2 year olds don't even remember their birthdays... so we thought that we would just do a few pretty chill things that he likes to do.  I was lucky enough that morning to sleep in til 11:45... which is ridiculous for a mother of 2 small children!  Lucy slept for 8 hours and then got up for an hour and went right back to sleep for another 5.  Gaetan got up with Tristan so that i could sleep some more.  It was unreal.  The night before I got 5 hours of sleep but broken up in 2.5 hour intervals.  This was heavenly!

That morning was rainy and stormy so we thought we'd do some things inside.  When he got up from his nap he went on a scavenger hunt to find his present!  It was adorable.  He loved it!  He got some Curious George learn how to read books.  He was so about them.  He also got a little wooden train set that's set up in his room.  Later that afternoon we went to the library so that he could play/read.  He played until the library closed :)  We did the normal Saturday night routine of pizza and I made ice cream cone cake.  Mike and Ingrid stopped by to help celebrate with us.  It was very chill and relaxed.  He seems to still be about all the birthday cards that he received and is loving the books still.
