The first celebration came when Grammy and Papa came to visit us in Altanta. Luke's still yet-to-be-named horsie was waiting for him when he got up Saturday morning.
Luke also received a basketball hoop, adjustable up to 6' from mommy and daddy, I just don't have a good picture of that one yet. Next, Luke opened a package from his great-grandparents containing lots of trucks and bubble wrap (which Luke had so much fun popping, he giggled with glee after every pop!)
The celebration continued on his actual birthday that week. I made him a gator cake for him to bring into school. The teachers told me later that it was enjoyed by all of the children except Luke, apparently he preferred crackers for his afternoon snack :) He does take after his father!

Then, the following weekend when we were in FL, we had a birthday party for Luke at Lake Seminole Park. This is the park that my family lived by when I was growing up. We could ride our bikes to this park we lived so close, so it was neat to celebrate his birthday there. We were hoping that the weather would hold out for us, but the later it got the cooler and more windy it got. By the end of the party is was pretty cold :)
Luke loves Elmo so we made it an Elmo/Sesame Street themed party, complete with an Elmo cake made by Grammy. But guess who didn't want any cake...yep Luke! At least it wasn't just the cake I made! He just isn't interested in sweets all that much. Cookies, yes but cake, no.
Some shots at the park before the eating and opening of presents.
We then sat down to sing, eat, then open presents. Josh took over 100 pictures so it was difficult to choose a few to demonstrate the joy Luke had with each gift, but he really did get excited over opening his presents, clothes and all!
no candle (we forgot one) but it was so windy it wouldn't have stayed lit anyway.
Thanks to everyone who came to the party and for all of the wonderful gifts! You all know Luke so well. We have been having fun this week playing with all of the new presents.
TRUCKS!!
Happy party-goers
Grant is excited!
Chuck the Truck, a big hit! Thanks Uncle Walter, Aunt Andi, and Sophia. At first Luke was a little intimidated, then Sophia showed him how to work it.
Pajamas! And they have been great as the cooler weather has been here this week in Atlanta.
mmm, what's next?
Finally, got 'em both!
And that ends the re-cap of Luke's 2nd Birthday week-long celebration!
