jeffrey is two!

yesterday we got to celebrate jeffrey's jump into his second year of life. that's right, he's 2! jeffrey is our neighbor and it has been so fun to watch the boys grow up over the past {almost} year that we have lived next door. we opened up our house for the party and coen was such a great friend to share all his toys. i let him pick one thing to put away, that he didn't have to share. of course he picked his airplanes and he put them in the pantry. at one point i was looking for coen, and found him sitting in the pantry playing with his planes. that kid. he needs lots of encouragement to play with other kids. which is crazy to me, but we are working on it. anyway, the party was lovely. we ate lots of good food and lauren (jj's mom) made the most beautiful rainbow cake. can't wait to see what the next year holds for these little blonde boys. 

happy birthday sweet jeffrey! 

bOo! EeK! yiKeS!

saturday night coen hosted his first ever halloween bash. it was pure chaos. also, it turns out coen isn't much of a host yet...but i will let it slide this year. we had a crazy full house of kids and parents. 

lots of cutie pie kiddos in costume. 

and some batty pinata fun. 

side note: 10 toddlers trying to break a pinata is painful. 

but we had some good mama volunteers that took a whack at it. 

late night got a little crazy. clothes came off, and the munchkins went wild. 

i went upstairs to find coen and lucy reading books in his room. they are too much. 

our neighbor brought his bunny over, and the kids pretty much couldn't handle it. 


especially lucy, she is an animal lover and i think she might be a vet when she grows up. 

this is a sign of a good party. even lily was wiped out.  

this is the playroom aftermath. i didn't even look in here till the next morning. 

good time had by all? 

i think....yes! 

a big spooky thanks to everyone who came and joined in the fun and chaos. you guys really delivered with your treats and costumes and we look forward to doing it again next year. 

boo!
