Tuck's #2 Bday

The day after we got home from Hawaii was 

TUCKER'S 2nd BIRTHDAY!

It was great to have something fun to distract us from how sad we were to have our trip over.

The night before, we let Jack stay up and help us decorate and get Tucker's presents ready.

I think it really helped him not to be jealous the next day!

We woke Tucker up before Brett had to take off for work, and it took him a minute before his ready to be fully emerged in birthday-mode.

It was absolutely darling to see him react to so much attention directed at him.

He hardly knew how to react to getting so many toys that were HIS.

Eventually, he handed them all of the Jack at some point...because that's the way it usually goes.  

He got an Imaginext castle, remote control car, motorcycles, bubble machine, Ninja Turtle, Woody action figure, and Frozen DVD.

We immediately gave the bubble machine a whirl, and he was overflowing with 2-year-old joy!

We got ourselves ready and headed to the new aquarium in Draper with Annie, Sam, and Grandma Jackie.

Tucker really enjoyed RUNNING like a wild man through the building, but I think his real favorite part was jamming THREE dum-dums in his mouth at the same time.

I'm such a good mom.

After naps, we geared up for some more celebrating.

We met the fam at Chick-Fil-A for some grub, and then headed home for presents and cake.

Tucker was spoiled with awesome gifts!

Duplo Blocks, a guitar, Mickey Mouse, and an awesome wagon that he and Jack have ridden in every day since!

I purposefully got Tucker the most chocolaty cake I could find... since he loves his chocolate!

We were so lucky to have our family around to welcome us home from our trip and to celebrate Tuck-man.

And his ultimate supporter this day was....

JACK!

These two are really getting to be best of friends!

Loving these ages!
