Duke's 2nd Birthday!

He got his scooter and some balloons when he came down the morning of the 24th, his 2nd birthday.  Aunt Megan and Marc were here and he was excited.  Aunt B and Avah came over with some birthday presents and sugar free cupcakes!!

Feeling a little shy about all the attention he was getting.  He was snuggling with Daddy, trying to wake up.

Sitting at the head of the table with his Daddy's dinner plate the evening of his birthday!  He's a big boy now.

His birthday cake.  We went with a basic boxed Betty Crocker.  We didn't have a lot of time!

Finally getting to sing his favorite song to himself.  He was singing the loudest of us all.  "HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUKE HORGAN".  I am laughing so hard that I can barely sing.

Lots of family.

More family - yayyy!  All for Duke's birthday.
It is definitely a crazy busy time of year for a birthday but at least family is already getting together and there's lots to do.  It was a whirlwind of a weekend for sure but we all got through it and I think Duke enjoyed himself.  It is almost a week past his birthday and we are finally getting back to our schedule.  I now have a two year old and have officially entered the "terrible two's".  I will probably post more about that later - but not on his birthday post.

He's grown so much over the past two years that I feel like we've had a lifetime with him.  He's an amazing little guy and we love him so much.  I still don't understand where he gets all the energy from.  I get tired just thinking about tomorrow.
