Joshua's 2nd Birthday John Deere Style

Joshua turned 2 on August 3!  He such a boy and loves all things car, truck, tractor, train, and airplane!  We thought we'd go with that and have a John Deere party. Of course he had to look the part so he had his best farmer gear on and looked super cute!  We had a lot of friends and family come out for the party and we are so grateful. We rented the covered patio area of a local park and pretty much had the whole playground to ourselves for all of the kids to play.  It couldn't have been better weather either!
 
Joshua came fashionably late after we had already set up so Sissy is taking him around showing him all of the decorations.
 Every party I have to decide whether I'm going to make the cake/cupcakes or have someone else do it.  This year, it was just much easier to have Fred Meyer do it and they did a great job!


 Joshua spies a car on one of his presents!
 Snacks for the party, the rye bread cucumber sandwiches that Danielle makes were a hit!  I'm glad I stole the recipe!
 The best part of this party was that it was not at our house! No major clean before and no major clean UP after!  The kids loved just being at the park and being able to run around.
 A kissy for mommy.  Joshua thinks it's really funny to tease his daddy about giving me kisses.  If Josh tries to give me a kiss, he'll try to interrupt and give me a kiss himself.  Either way, I WIN!  You can see him looking at Josh (taking the picture) out of the corner of his eye waiting to see if he can get a reaction.  It's my favorite game lately!
 Cutie birthday boy!
 Time to open presents!
 He loved his tractor shirt!  And he'll love it for an entire extra year becuase it's a 3T! 
 CAT Tractor!  Score!
 A dump truck so big and he sit and ride on it!
 Thank you everybody!!
 Some of our many guests.
 Grandma combined all of her old keys on a keychain and he LOVED it!  He is all about keys, getting keys, holding keys, jingling keys.  Now he has his own set that we don't have to worry about him losing!
 Happy Birthday Boy!

  More of our guests.  The party was a hit!


 This was by far one of his favorite gifts, a bubble "leaf" blower from Aunt Stacy.


Thank you to everyone who came out for the party.  It was quite a drive for many of you and we appreciate how much you love our kids!!
