Thursday, Tariku turns two! Can you believe it? I totally cannot. He's the coolest little kid I know!
Saturday, we pulled a few of his friends together for playtime and cake. The theme: Basketball!
Tariku was lookin' so cool in his basketball gear.

Tariku was lookin' so cool in his basketball gear.
Basketball tshirt, bball shorts, & high tops! Dying of cuteness over here.
For the party, we rented the toddler's room at church, baked some cupcakes, and invited a few friends. The church nursery was the best idea. The kids just played, he opened a few gifts, ate cupcakes, and then we went home!
At one point, he had his head all the way in the bag to reach his gift!
I was a little concerned about the simple party. There was barely a theme. I saw the basketball napkins at the dollar store and we went with it. When it came down to it, This is what I want Tariku to remember: his family gathered to celebrate how happy we are that he exists! I want him to see pictures of our little family and remember us. I want him to see his dad's hat and think "oh, man! He always wore hats. Look at that beard!" And look at the picture below and say, "Oh my goodness! Dad told stories about how mom forgot to put the eggs in the cake. I don't think I noticed!" You know what I mean?
THIS is my son! Tariku thought Saturday was the coolest day! He almost ate his whole cake. He dug his fork into it and loved all the cheers that came from his reaction. He's such the cutest thing and I'm so pleased that he had a blast with his friends. Thank you to all his friends' parents who drove out after nap time to celebrate with us!
