Xavier's 2nd Birthday Party

Dahlia and Zaida had a 2nd birthday party for Xavier at "La Escuelita Family Daycare". The theme was cars and trucks. All of his buddies were in attendance - Naomi, Quinn, Collin, Jake, Katie, Truman, Thatcher, and Kayla. Mari even skipped preschool so she could celebrate his day with him.

In staying with the theme of the party I made a "Dump Truck Cake" that all the kids loved. It even came equipped with its own serving spoon - a shovel!

The kids all sang Happy Birthday to Xavier and waited patiently to dig in the "dirt" (aka - cake). Xavier huffed and he puffed and finally he was able to blow the candle out with a little help from his sister.



It was evident that none of the kids would be eating lunch or taking a nap because they all enjoyed the cake so much they asked for another plate full. It was also evident by Xavier's face that the cake was yummy.



Fun was had by all and Xavier got a lot of cool gifts including cars, a sound cube puzzle, Elmo music maker and a football.

Once we got home the party continued as family called and friend and neighbors stopped by and said Happy Birthday and brought more gifts including Handy Manny and his Tools, Shoot and Score Soccer Net and and Elmo CD player! Mommy and Daddy got him his very own scooter and helmet and Mari got him an Elmo's Piano Book!

Xavier's had a great 2nd Birthday which is evident by his big smile!
