Lucas is 2!

For those of you not in the loop, Lucas officially turned 2 at 10:33 AM this morning. It's unbelievable how much he has changed since he first appeared in this world, screaming and peeing all over the place. Well, the screaming and peeing haven't changed all that much, but you know what I mean.

We had a birthday party for him this past Saturday, and I've posted several pictures below. To see the rest of the pictures, you can see them in the photo album, which can be found here.

A view of the back deck, where some of the gang are chowing down on lunch.


The requisite "cheese" photo from Lucas.


Lucas got a hold of my beer bottle and went to town on it. Don't worry, there was nothing in it. What, you think I'm going to waste good beer on a 2 year old? :)


Here's a shot of the cake Marilu made. The theme of the party was dinosaurs so she made a stegosaurus cake. The plates on its back are strawberries and the tail spikes are candles. I think it came out pretty well.


Lucas gets ready to blow out the candles with Brandon waiting in the background to blow them out himself if Lucas has problems.


Despite Lucas's face to the contrary, the cake was actually quite good.


One of Lucas's presents was his first baseball mitt. We're still trying to teach him to put it on the correct hand...and not backwards, but those things will come in time, I'm sure.


"Ok, opened the truck, where's the next thing I can unwrap and destroy?"


I love his face here. Kind of a "thank you all for coming...now uh, you mind getting the heck out?"


Having fun with the dump truck.


This is one of those moments Lucas needed to be reminded to "be gentle!" while playing with Jayden. He was a bit excitable by this point of the party.


This was taken later on that night, just before bed. I think it's safe to say by the expression on his face that he had a good day, huh?


I plan to post a couple of videos from the party, but they take a while to upload so I'll include them in a follow-up post later in the day.

Last but not least, thanks to everyone who came to the party. We had a great time and really appreciated seeing you. Oh, and Lucas liked your presents. :)
