Manny turned 2 years old  today.  Danni threw him a truck construction party last night and it turned out so cute.  Danni asked Natalie Gardner to make a construction cake and brought over one of Manny's tractor to put on top of the cake.  Natalie even included trend marks. so cute.  The day of the party, I made chicken salad sandwiches, made a veggie platter, and label the water bottles.  Danni had to wirk, so we had to wait to decorated, which is the best idea for a 2 year old.  We went to Party City to buy balloons and I accidentally popped an orange balloon.  I felt so bad, but it all worked out.  We got the decorations up in time and it looked great for a 2 year old birthday party.

Manny took a quick nap and wasn't thrilled about pics at the
 beginning of his party, but he started to warm up.

The party was a great success.  Jim and I gave Manny a Harley Davidson tricycle which he totally loves.  We gave him the tricycle at the beginning of the party, so he was willing to share his other toys.

The Clawsons came to support Danni and Manny and well as the  Malmberg girls.  We mostly talked among each other and played with Manny and Britt's kids.  We did all the traditional birthday stuff - dinner, cake, presents.  Everything turned out perfect.

A couple of days before his party, Danni and Britt took Jay and Manny to Uptown Jungle.  The boys had a blast.  I say a few videos of the boys jumping and having a bast,  I love that Danni took time out of her busy schedule to have a play date with Manny.

I made a collage of Danni at age 2 and Manny at age 2 to see if Manny looks like his mom.  I see a strong resemblance.  Danni's birthday cake was a simple one that I made, but it also had a number 2 birthday candle.

For Danni's 2nd birthday, we got her a Little People school bus.  Manny plays with that exact school bus a lot.  How fun is it that Manny plays with one of Danni's old toys.
