All week, we've been working on the "how old are you?" conversation. Tyler would say, "I almost not 2, I almost 3!" and hold up 3 fingers.
Because Jackson's b-day is on New Year's Eve, we did poppers on his birthday. I guess Tyler thinks every party gets poppers, because he saw them at the store and said, "get this, my birthday" So, we went outside and popped poppers and instead of yelling Happy New Years, we yelled Happy Birthday! I guess this will be a family tradition of ours! :)
I loved watching Tyler's face as we sang to him his favorite song. He followed along with the words, "to YOU" and was just delighted when we sang, "to TYLER"
I had envisioned a beautiful dirt cake with a road for the cars and some grass... this is how it turned out... (I'm obviously no cake decorator!)

Wow, happy birthday Tyler. I do love his shirt. Pretty adorable. Are you ready to have a 3 year old?
I love the cake! What a great idea, and I love his shirt :-) Congrats on making it 3 years with him still intact! I can't believe it's been 3 years since we met! He was SO TINY when we met in Orlando and now look at him! Asking for poppers, and having favorite colors! Amazing!
Looks like you all had a lot of fun. Birthday parties for little kids are a lot of work but also a lot of fun!
Awesome job Kirsti! You can tell Tyler felt very special and to me that is what birthdays are all about. Great work on the cake. I love the grass hill in the middle. :D We will see if I can pull off my kid's cake creation next week. Princess castle here we come!
I can't believe the last time I saw him was when he was just a small, one month old baby and we were leaving for Chicago... man. Time goes by so quickly!! I love his shirt! So precious!!!
OH, and something I just learned. If dying cake batter you have to use the WHOLE container of food dye... some colors will need two containers (like red). :D I'll be attempting to make green green cupcakes for Lily this week.
