Jack's 2nd Birthday - a blog a month in the making!

I have completely broke my promise of posting at least once a week, but I left my camera charger in Greenville when we had Jack's birthday party and couldn't bear to post w/out any pictures - I just got it back today and it's back to the grindstone!!
Jack's birthday party was in Raleigh at Matt's grandparent's house on April 19 hosted by the Higgins. Complete with Elmo theme, it was a party indeed. I was so happy to get to see some of our family that we haven't seen in a while. I even got to visit with my Great-Grandma Wilson. It was very neat that her and Patrick were born 99 years and 1 day apart. How incredible!!! With that said, here is the "Grandmas" picture that was taken (all of Jack and Patrick's grandmas, great-grandmas, and great-great grandma in one pic!):
We had pizza, fruit salad, and goldfish - and don't forget Elmo cake! This is the one that I decorated as Jack's smash cake. I was pretty proud considering how non-artistic I am. Jennifer created a huge masterpiece that is a bigger version of this one:
Jack got a TON of presents...in fact, we had to rearrange the entire house when we got home just to arrange them all in an orderly fashion. Here he is sitting at his new table and chairs with cousin Andrew:
Eerily enough...here's what the 2 looked like about a year ago when they got together:
They have grown so much!!
And opening the greatest present of all (problem was, after opening this one, he wasn't really interested in the others!):
He really loved this little wagon that came with a sock monkey in it - at home he enjoys carting around his juice and blankie and whatever else he feels like in it:
A picture of Patrick and Mommy - please just look at Patrick!!!:

He loves his new ECU football, but it seems that the balloons are the biggest hit!All in all, it was a great party...everyone had a blast...I think that Jack may have been a little overwhelmed by all the people and presents but he still had fun!
