Happy 2nd Birthday Holt!!!

Today is Holt's 2nd bithday. I can't believe my baby is two. I feel like we just had him yesterday. He brings so much joy to our house. He is passionate and happy and yes sometimes a little strong willed. He adores his brother and always keeps us laughing.

Last night when I got home at 9:30 I realized I only had one present for him. I felt bad considering when Pierce turned two I probaly had 10 presents and had them bought for a month. I had planned on picking up something this week but time got away from us. Its really hard to come up with ideas when it seems like we have every 'boy ' toy there is and following Pierce's bday and then Christmas we are pretty well stocked. However, I scored big with the one present I did get him. For anyone who sees me pick up Pierce at preschool everyday, sees our frequent stuggle over who carries Pierce's lunch box. Holt has been obssessed with it all year and wants to hold it ALL the time. We finally worked out a system where Pierce carries it into school and Holt carries it out. Well, I thought what would Holt really want for his bday? A lunch box!! So I paid a ridiculous amount..but well worth it..to get him a trendy lunch box with his name on it like his brothers. It has been on his arm ever since we gave it to him this morning. He took in every store and of course we took in into school to pick up Pierce and show Mrs. Holly and Mrs. Susan what a big boy we were now.

Pierce had donuts with daddy at school so I took Holt to get his bday donut too. We ate a whole one with no problem..and mommy and the baby had to have one too! We then went to Toys'r'us and I let him pick out a couple presents..I know you usually do this before there bday. Thanks for the idea Megan! He picked out a fish water bottle and a Nemo book, he loves fish right now. I also got him some new bubbles for outside. Then we ran a couple errands and he got some chick'fil'a nuggets for lunch, one of his favorites. Tonight we are doing dinner with Gran and Pop. I will post more pictures later. Happy Birthday Holt! We love you so much!!
