Birthday Party

It has been just over a week since we celebrated the little man's 2nd birthday and boy do we have a lot of pictures to share!! We had a fish themed party with a few friends and family...the party was very laid back and just a simple celebration of another year with Maddox. I loved everything about the party and Maddox seemed to have a blast. I love having all 3 sets of grandparents together at one time and watching them all love on our sweet boy. Thank you all for celebrating with us and helping us create special memories to share with Maddox!!!
Dennis and Murlon...aka Grandma and PaPa Voda, drove down a few days before and Maddox LOVED playing cars and ANYTHING else he could get papa and grandmom to play with him....Murlon helped me make some awesome fish shaped cupcakes that turned out super cute!! Then Saturday, Aunt Kim and her boyfriend Austin drove in to celebrate as well. Thank you guys so much for driving the long and boring 6 hours to love on your little nephew...he still asks for "Kimmy" at random times throughout the day :)
Thanks mom for all your help decorating, baking cookies, getting all the snacks ready and all the other thousand things you did for us that day...especially letting us have the party at your beautiful home! What great memories that I know I will cherish for a life time!!!

And finally, here are the pictures. Thank you Sarah for taking the pictures (which I LOVE by the way); thus allowing me to focus on the birthday boy and not so worried about snapping a great picture! You are the greatest!!!
