Tomorrow is Sawyer's second birthday. I've been slightly fretting for the last week or so about how we would celebrate. Didn't want to do something too big but also didn't want to just have us. It turns out that his daycare will be closed tomorrow afternoon so he'll be home for the whole afternoon. Two of his friends from the neighborhood will come over for a birthday snack and opening presents - between the gifts from relatives and us, the table looks awfully full.
We've been reading books about birthdays for a few days now - it will be fun to see what he thinks.
Here's a picture of the table that will greet him in the morning (after he sees the two balloons hanging from his doorframe).
We'll let him open one present (from grandma) in the morning and then the rest in the afternoon.
I also decided to bake a cake. Last year, I made cupcakes because it had been so long since I attempted to bake anything more than banana bread. But I was slightly inspired this year. Since one of the kids has allergies to dairy, eggs, and nuts, I found a highly-recommended chocolate cake recipe and am currently bakingthat -I'll keep my fingers crossed to see how it comes out. It only took 10 minutes to mix in one bowl so that's definitely a plus.
A full report coming tomorrow...
