Happy 2nd birthday, Marek Gebre'-Joel Scott!


Happy 2nd birthday, buddy! We love you so much and can’t imagine our daily life without you! Yesterday, we had your birthday party!! We celebrated a few weeks early this year seeing as you are going to be with Big G and Nana on your actual birthday. We sent out these invites to all of your Sunday School class buddies a few weeks ago:

And then, this morning, I left a bit early to go pick up your Bob the Builder cupcakes made by Cupcakes by Design! She did a fabulous job! And, you, of course, thoroughly enjoyed them, lots of them! After picking up the cupcakes, I went to church to set up everything. Just before the party, you came into the gym with Daddy and Hollis. You were TOTALLY delighted to see all of the fun decorations and activities set up! But, your very favorite things were the balloons! “Boons! Boons!” you shouted! Hahahaha!

After everyone arrived, we all played with balloons and ran ALL over the gym! Then, everyone decorated construction hats with tons of stickers (one of your favorite things right now)! Following that fun activity, we played on the inflatable obstacle course!! Cupcakes and snacks were next (we had all of your favorite snacks right now: bananas, grapes, cheese puffs, and something sweet-cupcakes!)! We sang “Happy Birthday!” to you and directly following the song, we urged you to blow out the candles and you did just that!!!! Hahaha! Everyone burst into laughter and coupled it with claps galore. Our last activity of the party was a Lowe’s Build and Grow building project! Everyone got to build a putting green. It was TOO cute to watch everyone with their hammers, nails, wood, etc… You enjoyed this activity and were definitely more interested in banging the hammers on everything in sight than anything else. We ended the time with opening presents and a bit more time on the inflatable! You had an a BLAST and we all made many sweet memories!

Upon leaving, you and Hollis took all of the balloons outside to release them. Here you two are:



















I can’t even begin to tell you how much Mommy, Daddy, and Hollee (Hollis) love you!!  Happy birthday, buddy!
