Liam's 2 year Birthday Boat Party

This past weekend we celebrated Liam's 2 year Birthday with a boat party!
We had a blast, check out our pictures:

A sign for the front Door in Nautical flags says "Liam is 2"
Boat Cake, Liam helped Oma make some of Gigi's famous sugar cookies in the shapes of anchors and sail boats.

We named the cake M.Y. Liam. M.Y. stands for Motor Yacht.

Moi brought her famous and super delish deviled eggs. Cousin Will helped me by putting the sails Liam and I made in them. (I figured I better stay far away from those tooth picks.)
Watermelon boat and fruit salad
The kiddos had PB and J sailboats
Drinks and snacks were outside
We have had so many days of over 100 degree heat, it has been still and oppresive. This morning there was a slight breeze, warm, but still a breeze. We were thankful for it but I couldn't keep my Happy Birthday sign out of the tree. Oh well, I would much rather have the breeze.
Stacey and Baby Kyle chatted with Maurney and Baby Drew (Kyle and Drew are close in age)
Ella and Liam tried out our new dancing sprinkler hose. It was a small hose but really sprinkled far so we had to move it so it wouldn't get everyone wet.
Oma and Yiayia helped me get everything ready
Birthday boy is all smiles
Cousin Gary checked out the mew baby pool
 The j-train was all ready to swim
 
We played pin the sail on the boat

Go! Go! Go!

We set up a slip n slide in the green belt

After Lunch everyone was ready for some cake:
Cousin Will made an anchor for the M.Y. Liam. Didn't he do a great job?
Liam is ready for some singing

Liam diggin' in
Ice-a-ceamy!
Opening gifts he was a bit overwhelmed.
I don't think I got pictures of all the amazing gifts but here are a few:
Mud pies! Sweet!
An awesome tool set
Red Rider Bike
Choo choo
Mickey Mouse Club house video which we have already watch at least 20 times!
After the party Liam and the kiddos swam some more while we enjoyed the shade.

Thanks to everyone who made Liam's party so much fun! We love you all!
Anchor's Aweigh!
