Liam is a 2 year old!

So Liam celebrated his birthday this past Wednesday. I hadn't planned on celebrating much because Ben was out of town for work and I figured we would do a combined birthday celebration for Anja and Liam when he got back.
Growing up my Mom was very good about celebrating our birthdays and making us feel special and so even though I thought he would be too young to think much of it my mom decided that he needed some presents and cake on his actual birthday! Go Mom! Thanks for making his day! Not to mention his siblings night! Nothing better then ice cream cake!

He got an Elmo doll and has brought it everywhere since... he calls it Melmo.... and Melmo must go to bed with him, ride in the car, play...you get the idea...
Trucks are always a good bet too!
The yummy cake!
and the aftermath...Liam was being very cute with the presents, he opened them himself but every time he ripped the paper he would hand it to one of us. He seemed concerned about where the paper should go... maybe he will be a good room cleaner when he gets older..
