Bryant's Big Bash

Today our sweet little boy turned 2. It was sort of nostalgic for me to look back on where we were 2 years ago today and remember all the time spent in the hospital awaiting his arrival and the wonderful memories that come with the birth of a new baby. He is such and amazing, sweet, kind, helpful, loving, busy, smart little guy, the last 2 years have truly been a blast. Jeremy and I decided to go ahead and have a party for him, realizing he wouldn't care either way, because we finally have a space suitable for entertaining. The party was Saturday evening and we had about 25 people over for pizza, cake and ice cream. The weather really could not have been more beautiful, 70+ degrees at the end of October! The kids were able to spend most of their time playing together outside and Bryant loved the commotion and activity of all those playmates.

Asher had his own buddies to play with at the party...my friend Regan and her husband Dave came over with their daughter Colby, who is exactly one month younger than Asher, and Jeremy's cousin Paul and his wife Shauna brought their kiddos, the youngest one is Crosby and he is 4 days older than Asher. We had to take the opportunity to capture a shot of all the babies together when everyone was awake, happy and not hungry, and believe me, those moments are few and far between with 3 new babies. (Carrington, my friend with triplets is probably the only one reading this that can TRULY understand!) :-) (In the picture with the three babies, from left to right: Asher, Colby, Crosby)
Bryant had a fantastic day and loved every minute of the party from the pizza (maybe his favorite dinner), to the "yummy orange pop" and chocolate cake, oh and don't forget about the presents. He had more help than he could possibly ask for when it comes to opening presents, I think Jeremy was a bit overwhelmed, but Bryant was a true host, sharing all his new presents with his cousins and loving every minute of it.
Bryant woke up this morning, on his actual birthday, and asked me "where'd everyone go?", I guess he figured the party would continue after he got out of bed, very cute! Anyway, for those of you who were not able to make it to the bash, we wanted to share some pictures of the event for you.

I always love seeing a new post--the pictures are great! Amazing how time flies, isn't it? And I loved your shout out in regard to the three babies! I don't think I have any pictures quite as peaceful and organized looking as the one you included in your post! Glad to see everyone is doing well and enjoying your big beautiful new home. I hope I can come see it someday.
