Drew Turns Two!

Drew is now TWO! It is crazy to think that he is growing up so fast.  To celebrate we went down to Orem to open presents and have some cake with some of Michelle's family.  My sister Rachael was also able to make it.

Drew has gotten better and better at opening gifts and it is fun to watch him get excited for what is inside.  He got a book with a collection of Bernstein Bear stories, a basketball hoop, a t-ball set, and a little car.  I think he was most excited to see the toy car, but he does love books.

Once he was done opening all the gifts we set up the basketball hoop and have him give it a try.  Rachael helped him with a few slam dunks and then he tried some shots on his own.

Michelle had to work all day today, but I had the day off so I decided I would make a cake for Drew.  I did a pretty good job at making it as an amateur, but it did crack a little on the drive down to Orem, but it tasted really good regardless of its small flaw.

After eating the cake the kids got to go down in the basement and have some fun.  They put a bunch of foam pads on the stairs and used them as a slide with aunt Nettie.  They then went into the room that holds all of the dolls and doll furniture that Nettie, and Michelle, but mostly Nettie, collected over the years and took some pictures of the kids.

Drew, and the rest of us, had a fun time celebrating his birthday.  The night was perfect, low key, nothing big, but full of fun and family.
