We woke Johnathan up and let him open a gift from Uncle Matt since he wasn't able to make it to the party. It was a lawn mower and Johnathan LOVES it!
Then we were ready to go set up for the party. We had the party at the same place as last year since it was so much fun! I couldn't help but compare how much Johnathan has grown up over the past year! Just look at these two photos!
One quick family photo before the party began!
Next the balloons showed up and so did my sister who thankfully took so many of these wonderful photos! I literally have hundreds of photos of the party thanks to her! Thanks Kris! :-)
Both Grandma's helped write out "Happy Birthday"
It kinda looks like Johnathan wrote this himself in this one!
Then right at 10am everyone showed up all together! Talk about being on time!!
Then it was party time!
The mom's chatting while the kids played!
It was wonderful to have so many people come and help us celebrate!
The babies of the group . . . next year they will be running around! :-)
The park has a great water play area and the kids went in right away to play and cool off.
The group photo of all of the kids. I don't think it's possible to get that many kids to look in the same direction at the same time!
Some of the Mom's
The Attanasio girls
Proud Grandma Lois and her three kids
Then it was cake time . . .
Johnathan was loving everyone singing to him, but he was more interested in trying to blow out the candles!
Go for it John!!
Johnathan and his buddy Mathyas digging into the cupcakes!
We also had icee pops for the kids to cool down with. It was a hit!
One final photo of all of us girls, we've been friends since high school! It's so special to me to have this group of friends! :-)
Before we knew it the party was over and it was time to go home.
We let Johnathan take a long nap and then it was time to open up all of his presents. He was loving every minute of it!
Are all of these mine?
What a lucky little boy to get all of these awesome toys and gifts!!
Thank you to everyone who came and made this a special day for Johnathan! I still can't believe he is a big bad 2 year old! We certainly made some special memories of his big day!
