Happy Birthday, Curious George.... I mean, Curious David

Guess who's TWO? That's right, David turned two on Sunday! Brent and I got to head back to the Twin Cities to help him celebrate.

His parents hosted a little birthday party for him, held at my parents house. They decided this curious little guy should have a Curious George-themed party. Very fitting! He was honored by the presence of family and friends, and we all had a great time!

The house filled with food and people.
Lots of ballons, a "2"-shaped pinata, and a Curious George birthday cake.
David had a lot of fun opening his presents. Here he is BEFORE the big pile of wrapping or tissue paper was strewn about the floor.
I think this guy's name is Handy Manny.
David would plop the present down in his mom's lap to get "help" to open the present.
He was really appreciative of people's generosity and wanted to dig right into each present!
My mom and dad gave him this great tricycle that has a handle on the back. Looks like fun!
The lovebirds during the party.
"Someone" is always a goofball..... How do you think our wedding pictures will go? :)
David's other grandparents gave him this cool "Cars" chair. He loves it! Looks like he already knows how to lounge pretty well!
The chair also folds back so he can drive it. Now he just needs to remember to face forward while driving!
Better watch out for this climber!

After the people left, we just hung out as a family for a bit. David has really warmed up to Almost-Uncle Brent and it's so fun to watch them together! Here they are in the living room having some fun together. Sorry about the sideways screen, I can't remember how to change it! You'll hear that David's learning new words all the time, and he said "more" a lot as Brent would throw him in the air! I guess in preschool he's also been playing "Ring Around the Rosie" so that's what he's doing at the end, and then goes quickly to "all fall down!" (sorry about the bright sunlight going through the mini-blinds)

It was so fun to see everyone again, hear all of David's new words, and help him celebrate turning two.
