We celebrated Luca's 2nd birthday last week, starting out with our traditional birthday breakfast at Kristin's Diner. Luckily we were there at 7am, early enough so that we almost had the place to ourselves. This is a good thing, since our family rolls through restaurants and leaves the place similar to the aftermath of a category 5 hurricane. Within 5 minutes of being at the restaurant our nanny had juice spilled on her lap, we lost a lego head under the table, Luca picked up his milk cup and drank it like a bottle-making it spill all over him, and somehow he also completed about 10 laps around the restaurant, protesting every time we tried to strap him in a high chair. sigh... these are the memories I'll cherish, even though it's soo hard now! At least their cute ;)
Here's Luca with this 'birthday pancake'. Clearly he needed extra sugared frosting and colored sprinkles they put on, yum!
Then we planned a party at our local Gymboree again, complete with Thomas Train cake. I remember another little boy that LOVED Thomas train at this age ;)
He's the small guy at the end of the table... mainly hidden by his 'king for a day' crown
friends had fun celebrating with Luca!
siblings had fun celebrating with Luca!
Luca got a parachute of his own from Santa, he's obsessed with them....
