Teddy is 2... the third celebration! and Happy Chanukah!

We got home just in time for Teddy's actual birthday. For this celebration I made a cake:
I think he liked it:
Poor little man was so anxious to eat his Elmo cake, but he waited patiently all day long. We started the day by making special birthday pancakes. The big two year old even helped stir:
Birthday pancakes are not complete with out candles:
Yummy!
Then it was time for Teddy's last monthly photo with his bear. I originally was only going to take them for one year, but couldn't stop myself at 12 months. I can easily stop myself now. Look how grown up he is!!!
We went to Uncle Hal and Aunt Jenn's house to celebrate the last night of Chanukah along with Teddy's birthday.
Teddy and Jack helped in the kitchen:
The Hoscheks with the birthday boy:
Lighting the menorahs:
Teddy helped by feeding the hungry baby:
Presents, presents, and more presents. By the way, this is my mom "scaling back".... yeah right!
Finally it was time to light candles and let Teddy eat his Elmo cake:
He was a little bit excited:
Mmmmm
And when he finished what was on his plate, check out what Teddy did next:
Cousin Maggie with her new leopard presents:
Playing with cousins:
When we got home, Shae put together Teddy's new car ramp:
I would say Teddy had a great birthday!
The next day Teddy had a special message for Aunt Shelley:
On Friday Teddy and I went to a "Noon Year's Eve Party." It was really cute- we counted down from 10 to 1 at noon. The kids had snacks, toys, and noise makers of course. Teddy loved it:
My friend Aghigh was in town for the holidays as well and we were excited she visited us:
She brought Teddy some Legos and they came with stickers that are eyes so you can make different animals. Teddy was so funny- he immediately took the stickers and stuck them on his own eyes. Silly boy:
Friday night of course was the bowl game. Shae was excited to watch the Hawkeyes. Teddy "wouldn't go to sleep" so Shae conveniently had a buddy to watch the beginning of the game with :
