Birthday Morning!

JD's 2nd birthday has finally arrived (3/15) to be exact, and we started the day with some birthday pancakes and an early morning singing of "Happy Birthday". He blew out his candles on the second try and clapped for himself upon success. I asked, "How old are you today, JD?" and he said, "I'm two!" while holding up his two fingers (see photo).

After breakfast, we got ready to go have his birthday pictures made and while at the mall, he rode in one of the coin-operated cars and played in the children's area. We tried to ride the carousel, but they were closed for repairs and would reopen in the afternoon.

When we returned home, JD played in the front yard for a while as it was an absolutely gorgeous day!

JD received several birthday phone calls from family throughout the day, and he was thrilled with each and every one.
