Lincoln's Birthday

Back at the end of April my little Linc-o turned 2!  What's crazy is that he has grown up so much in the month since then. His language has grown a bit and it seems like his personality has totally come out since his ear tubes.  His facial expressions are so descriptive as always and he is still constantly trying to be like his brother.

His birthday fell on a Saturday, so we spent some time as a family that day and went out to dinner at Pizza Pie Cafe with family. Then followed up with a little family party at home. Simple but fun.

Traditional birthday mornings in our house start with doughnuts and singing Happy Birthday in Portuguese.  Parabens pra voce!


We took a trip to the gym while Ben was busy in the morning where he got his own special sticker


Then we headed to Trafalga for a game of mini golf... Linc's first time. He loved it...

...and spent most of his time looking for, picking up and putting the ball in the hole, over and over. 



And then he took the fine opportunity to throw his ball in the water while Ben was on his cell phone. 


Pizza Pie for dinner - yum! They gave him a mini cookie monster for his birthday (I'm sure my old roommates remember these from Craigos, right? Mmm.)

After. 
He was disgusting - I just stripped him down and carried him out white-trash style in his diaper. 

Presents at home with the cousins close at hand

Remote control car from Marmie and Gamps

The guys figuring out the Thomas train
  
And what would a party be without an ipad and a favorite older cousin to play with? (Mercer is pretty much Logan's favorite person in the whole world.)


Lincoln loves trains right now so I made a simple train cake.

 We got a big Mr. Potato Head set off ebay for Lincoln and Mercer's creation cracked me up.


Happy Birthday sweet boy!

What a fun birthday and I love his cake Kristi. It always seems that there is usually one present that Dad has to put together to keep them happy as well.
Love those boys

That was a "simple" train cake? My version of a simple train cake would have been a store bought cake with the word "train" written on it - very much like one you'd see on cakewrecks.
