For Ezekiel's 2nd birthday, we had a "Favorite Things" party. Rather than picking a theme, his party was full of all the things he loves. We had balloons, balls, swimming, horses ("neighs"), bubbles, hotdogs and a touch of Elmo! It was a huge amount of fun for Ezekiel (and me and Kevan too!). One of my favorite parts was watching E get up from his nap to find balloons everywhere, Elmo decorations, and bubbles floating around. He was ready to get that party started!
This pretty much captures how he felt about the day!
Some of the fun decorations:

And, now, for the main event - Neighs!! Ezekiel could not have loved this any more. He ran up to the horse yelling "neigh! neigh!" and when Grandma lifted him on he said "Yee-haw!" over and over! Such a crack up.
We got to play in the pool too!
Swinging with uncle Robert (Kevan's best buddy)

After dinner, it was round 2 with the horses. This time, all the guests wanted a ride too. It was so much fun to watch all the kids ride around the backyard with big grins on their faces (or looks of concentration!).
Ezekiel and his cousin, Cami, share the same birthday (they were born just over an hour apart!). Here they are sharing a horsey ride!

Wow, Bethany! I can't believe he's already two! What a cute little man you have!
Your little man is so grown up -- and so blonde. It looked like a perfect way to celebrate turning two. Everything he loves.... including a wonderful family.

What a great day! That was such a wonderful idea to do the "Favorites Thing". You are so smart and always come up with such great ideas. It looks like Ezekiel loved his special day.
