Happy Birthday Card!

Our sweet boy turned two today and we had a great time celebrating. We actually slept in until 7:00 (after an initial 5:00 wake-up), then we gave Spencer his gift - a groovy little play kitchen with pots, pans, food, etc.


We also opened some gifts from the Loves, including new Legos and more wooden food that goes great with the kitchen (coincidence, by the way). Geep and Pop came over at lunchtime, and of course they were bearing gifts too, including a Sit & Spin and fun memory game. Then we all went to Kiddie Acres, an old amusement park that is a big hit with the Austin kiddos. It was deserted - we practically had the place to ourselves. Spencer rode some little cars, boats, a train, merry-go-round, Ferris wheel and even a pony. He was very serious about the rides, but he had fun once he loosened up a bit.


Spencer played putt-putt golf for the first time, too. He was actually pretty good - I think he could beat me. He made two holes in two shots! Daddy and Pop really got a kick out of watching their future golfing buddy learning the ropes.


After Kiddie Acres, we went to Dong Nai (The Donger) for dinner. We ate dinner there on Spencer's birthday last year and took a self-portrait at 6:28 p.m., so we might be starting a tradition with those two things.


Spencer kept saying, "Happy birthday card" and "two years old" today. I think he had a fun day and sorta understood what the hubbub was about. Happy birthday, Spencer. You are such a joy and blessing to your daddy and me. We love you more than you could ever know!
