Kendrick turned two this year on September 18. We decided to have an "Elmo" theme party since Kendrick is obsessed with Elmo. A couple of weeks before his birthday, we took some pics to use on his birthday announcement.
Trying to put up two fingers.
He got it a little bit better.
Now if only he wouldn't put his fingers in front of his face!
He thought Elmo needed a taste.
On Kendrick's actual birthday, we took him out for dinner to celebrate. Here are some more pictures of him. Still trying to get the hang of holding up two fingers.
Kendrick - the birthday boy!
He was having fun standing on the counter.
We waited until Scott got home from work and then we went over to Provo to Brick Oven. Kendrick had a ball. He loved his food.
Eating his garlic bread.
He didn't quite know what to think when they came and sang "Happy Birthday" to him.
But, he loved the ice cream!
And the sucker.
On Sunday, September 24, we had a family party to celebrate Kendrick's birthday. We decided to have a barbecue at our house. I asked a friend a work, Cassie Lewis, who makes cakes for fun, if she could make an Elmo cake. She said sure! Look at what she came up with:
The Elmo cake was so cute!
It was a red velvet cake.
She had cut out a lot of letters from the fondant. Everything was edible too!
Scott and I made the cupcakes. Elmo was actually made out of rice krispies!

Family and friends at the party.
It was great to see everyone and the weather was perfect.
Scott was the cook again this year!
The kids enjoyed playing in Kendrick's sand box.
Present time!
All of the kids crowding around.
Kendrick received a lot of nice things.
He had a great time opening all of the gifts.
He got a new tricycle from Grandma Mangelson.
Jake, showing him what to do.
He loves it!

Blowing out the candles.
Kendrick's party turned out great and I'm so thankful for the family and friends that were able to come. I can't believe Kendrick is two! He is growing up so fast. I sometimes wish he was still a little baby, but then I'm also excited to see him learning new things and talking more. It is going to be a great adventure!
