We decided to have the party when he woke up from his nap, so that we could decorate while he was sleeping and then he could be surprised. Well, his nap was a short-lived one and once he came downstairs he wanted to start in on the festivities...even though most of the guests had not arrived. Here he is trying to open his presents and the party hadn't even started yet:
We finally lured him outside to detain him until people could arrive.
Finally, the bouncy house we ordered arrived and the set up of it had Bradyn mesmerized and a bit scared. As a matter of fact, he never got in the bouncy house...luckily the other kids were thrilled by it and they were entertained all afternoon!
Then the gift opening began...paused...began again...paused...and began again. I say this, because Bradyn had to get each gift out of the packaging and play with it before the next gift was opened...needless to say it took a long time!! You can tell that family and friends know him so well...he LOVED every gift and now we need to get a new house with a 3 car garage, just to fit all of his new vehicles, sports equipment, and art supplies!
After a bit of dinner (and a diaper change), we moved on to the Mickey Mouse birthday cake! Bradyn was SO excited and he even blew out his candles! He thoroughly enjoyed his cake, so much that he forgot about his fork and hands and did a face plant bite into the frosting!
The long day ended with a very happy (and a bit overwhelmed) baby sleeping peacefully. The next day was like a party all over again as he discovered and played with all his new toys! Thanks everyone for making Bradyn's 2nd Birthday so special!

Happy Birthday Bradyn!! We were thinking about the bouncy house too, but we are getting a balloon magician. :) Can't believe these boys are growing up so fast!
Happy Birthday Bradyn!
It certainly looked like a very special celebration and one that he enjoyed thoroughly.
Heidi-Wow time goes by so fast! He such a cute little boy and I am so happy for you. You are the funnest mom looking at all the details that went into the party. Bradyn is one lucky guy to have you and Mike as his parents. It so fun seeing your family grow. I miss you, Rachelle
We wouldn't have missed if for the world. We're looking forward to see what next year's jump house will look like! -Ineke
We are so glad that we could be there and enjoy this very special day with Bradyn. We truly love our newest grandson, and wish we could be together more often. Skype is a wonderful invention, so at least we can see each other and talk also. Thanks for everything during our stay with you, we enjoyed it all. Take care, and have fun with your friends camping next week-end.
Love you all,
Oompa and Oomba Lee
