He's 2!

It's so hard for me to believe, but Thomas is officially 2 years old!  His birthday, August 23, fell on a Thursday this year so we took the entire week to celebrate.  Over the weekend prior to his birthday, we took a trip to the regional airport in Greenville for lunch and airplane watching.  Katie and Martin met us there - it's actually a pretty popular place for people to eat lunch on Sundays - for the good food and fun.  Thomas was actually invited out onto the airstrip to check out a little two seater plane.  After that, we headed to the Greenville Children's Museum - what a wonderful place!  It is 3 stories of educational and fun kid activities, almost too much to do in one visit.  Thomas really enjoyed the car, grocery store, and farm areas - Trey and I even found some cool things to play around with! 

The week that followed was full of birthday "special treats" and fun for Thomas.  Finally, on Saturday, the 25th we had his 2-year old party.  Of course, it was tractor themed, complete with tractor rides, tractor cake and cupcakes, and tractor lollipop favors.  T had a great time opening tons of gifts with the help of Jack, Olivia, and Audrey and then playing with all those new toys.  He completed the night with a romp around the house in his elmo towel - it was truly strange but hilarious.  I think Thomas enjoyed celebrating his "happy day", as he refers to it and that's what matters most!

At the boys table!
