Duex!!

 Ah, yes.  It happens to the best of us.  Turning another year older....Bryden turned two this week.
 I remember my mother got the biggest joy from celebrating all our birthdays in the best way she knew how and all those memories from special celebrations come flooding back now as the grandchildren celebrate theirs. This one started with a small family party at our house...

 with gifts that he really enjoyed opening with his mother Chelsea.  He is understanding what it's all about which is fun to watch.

 This was one of his favorite gifts...a guitar!  He sings which is SO funny to watch!!

 Friend Emily came over to serenade him too!!

 Today began with a breakfast with Santa.  This was the new word of the week and I laughed each time he said it!

 All the little ones in our family were at Chelsea's house then to celebrate again with a bigger par-tay.

 Cousins....I love the look on Bryden's face as he shares his chair.  A minute later he pushed her out and wanted it to himself...but I captured this sweet moment first...lol!

 A tender moment between Uncle Tim and Bailey.

 Mmmmm!  The birthday cupcake!!

And Cooper getting ready to go home in his great hat saying good-bye!!

The best part for me was knowing they all will be back in just two weeks for Christmas!!
