The day AJ turned Two

As you all may be aware by now, Sunday was AJ's 2nd birthday. AJ had an early start to the day and the 1st thing he asked about when I went into his room was his cake, then dada, then the doggies. He was very excited to come downstairs and see all the CARS decorations. All the excitement built up and he wanted nothing to do with a nap.
Guests arrived by noon and AJ was very happy to see everyone - especially the little ones that are his same age. All the little kids enjoyed chasing Dixie around the house. Tails the Clown was a hit and the pinata and cake were also favorites of the day.
Gift opening was also an adventure as every kid wanted to be involved in some way and we had tons of little helpers helping out handing presents to me or AJ (thanks Jordan and Danny), Marina and Luna were also helping out by opening some presents for AJ.

The evening entertainment involved a very detailed neverending game of Phase 10 and AJ playing with his upgraded car (thanks Mike Gallo) as well as his piano from nonnie and many of the other toys.

Even though there was a very visible exhaustion, AJ wanted nothing to do with night night because there were still guests at the house and he never wants to miss a thing. He finally gave in after 2 minutes of crying and was fast asleep!

I hope everyone had a good time, I know AJ, Brian and I did.
