The celebration of our favorite 2 year old!

Given Ryan's slightly extravagant "Hole in One Golf Party" I threw for him last year on his first birthday,

we decided to make this years birthday a little more low key
( like buy the banner at the store instead of make it HA )

 and wait a year
(( for my husbands sake ))
 before I go crazy with a huge party again.

We spent the day with our little family - the best.


Ryan has a passion for cars so we decided to give him a little "cars heaven" for a day.

We celebrated on Saturday so that Aaron could be there to spend the whole day with him and we could take Ryan to do all his favorite things.

He woke up to birthday pancakes and a few gifts from Aaron and I to open.

I made Aaron blow up like 30 balloons to cover our family room with- 

And Ryan was in heaven overload!


Our child is slightly obsessed with golfing.
So we decided to take him and his plastic clubs to the course for his birthday.


Ryan loving golf makes my husband the happiest person ever.


It's the cutest thing to watch him try and "putt" his ball in the hole and watching my husband teach him how to swing.

(( MELTS me ))

Even though it was 100 degrees out, after 9 holes
he totally cried when we left the course- he loves it that much!


We went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.
Home of Ryan's favorite cheese pizza.
He was in heaven.
(plus Aaron and I are obsessed with that place and find every reason we can to go HA)


I saw a similar cake to this on Pinterest and fell in love with it!
My mother - in- law and I tweeked it a little and had it made for him!

I just made the "start" and "finish" signs with a little construction paper and a couple sticks :)

Before we could light the candles he went straight for the cars.
"vroom vroom"


***Warning for these next pictures: 
With Ryan's "only child / only grandchild ((both sides)) STATUS",
his birthday is comparable to Christmas morning.

I have never seen so many gifts for a two year old.
All thanks to his grandparents HA.


** All cars decor, banner, cups, hats and plates found at Party City








It was a perfect day together celebrating our favorite little human.

Ryan was in heaven and still to this day asks me almost every morning "Mamma, Birfday?"
I'm like "no sweetie, still a long time until your next one"
HA

Little boy you are our world! Your daddy and I adore you to pieces. XO

PS. Just a quick reminder, Last couple days to enter the Gap Giveaway !! Happy Tuesday ladies!!
