CAUTION BRYSON'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!

UndertheTableandDreaming

Two years ago today at 1:29 am I gave birth to a 10 lb. 9 oz., 21 in. long baby boy that we named Bryson Wayne (his middle name is after his Grandpa). His pediatrician said that he skipped 3 months because he was so big!

I decided to give Bryson a construction-themed birthday party (I am all about themed parties). The invitations were made out of a thin piece of wood and had a picture of Bryson on a backhoe on the back:

In the morning Bryson woke up to see his new tool bench from mommy and daddy and I also set the former train table up as a mini construction site:

I made his backhoe cake and lots of cupcakes the night before:

Bryson was still napping when his party started and he was surprised to see so many people when he woke up, so he just wanted his mama:

The kids had a great time playing in the construction site aka the playroom:

Jaden was super excited to help Bryson open all of his presents!

We were blessed to have so many family and friends help us celebrate our son's 2nd birthday! Here is Todd and Grandpa Albert (my dad):

Grandpa Wayne and Grandma Jane (Todd's grandparents):

Other people who came but Todd and I either didn't get a picture of them or the picture was really unflattering and they would kill me for putting it up on my blog were: Grandma Annette (Todd's mom), Aunt Rachelle (Todd's lil' sister), Nana (my mom), Scott & JoAnn and their daughter Kailee, Laurel and Evan and their Grandma Susan.

Birthday cake time, Bryson tried really hard to blow out his candles!

Before leaving each of the children got a Home Depot tool belt/apron that was filled with a flashlight, mini tape measure, paint brush, carpenters pencil, truck stickers and a few other goodies.

After B's party Todd and I realized that we never gave Brycie his other present, we brought down his new bike and helmet and he was so excited!

I think Bryson had a great 2nd birthday:)
