Bed Rest Diaries: Colton Turns Two

    How time flies! Another year and another birthday.  Colton turned two years old on Sunday December 16th and I still can't believe that I officially have a two year old.  Since being on bedrest the idea of the throwing him a party quickly went out the window.  Although that put me in a royal funk (because of my planning way too in advance nature) I found that it was a blessing in disguise.  Instead of getting caught up in the birthday party extravaganza, I was able to reflect on the past two years of Colton's life and how much he has been such a blessing to our family.  God could have not gifted us with a sweeter more personable child.  With all of that said, Michael and our dear friends made a weekend out of Colton's birthday and one that I will never forget.

    On Friday December 15th, we celebrated our 1st Annual Friendsmas with our close friends. Everyone was so gracious to throw Colton's birthday in the mix and sing happy birthday to him while he blew out his candles and enjoyed his special treat! 

Had fun creating and decorating these two pinterest inspired cupcakes  

Loved everyone singing Happy Birthday to him

And we're off!

On Sunday, Colton woke up to Daddy and Mommy singing him Happy Birthday.  Colton gave us the the two symbol during breakfast and then headed off to church with Daddy wearing his new Elmo shirt and backpack.

After nap time, Daddy and Colton came into Mommy's living quarters to open his presents.
