Birthday Morning with Presents and Trip to Aquarium!

We had been prepping Cooper all week about his birthday Friday...telling him he was going to get presents, have a party with friends and be 2!  Obviously understood more than last year, but still semi-clueless...that is until he saw the presents in the morning.  He knew exactly what to do with them :).  We opened presents and had a pancake breakfast before heading out to Sealife Aquarium.  We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa make the trip down for the weekend to help us celebrate and Dad took off work on Friday, so it was a great 3 day weekend of fun!

 Coop is at a bad stage when it comes to looking at the camera and smiling...drives me crazy!

 More presents!  We skyped with Mamaw, Aunt Tanya, Emily, Kellen, Braeden, Ava-Grace, and Cash!  They all sang happy birthday to him and then he opened his presents from Papaw and Mamaw.  Don't you love how Cash's face on the computer?  He just couldn't get close enough to check out Coop's gifts!
Cooper started the morning with his digger stickers on his jammies.  When I changed him into his clothes, I told him we could put them on his belly, thinking the belly of his shirt...nope, he took it literally.  He left the sticker on all day and kept lifting his shirt to show us, thought it was pretty funny!

More to come on the birthday party!
