Britton's 2nd Birthday Party


We celebrated Britton's second birthday on January 8! Since we were suffering from some serious jet lag and since we all had terrible colds, we just had a small family party. We found a local bakery to make Britton's allergy-friendly "cake" and had fun celebrating our little boy (before we all crashed in bed by 8 p.m.).












Our happy, sleepy, sickly family! I can guarantee you that we looked better than we felt.


Britton has become really good at opening presents. He celebrated three Christmases and one birthday in the span of two weeks.

We've been waiting to give Britton this Cozy Coupe for several months now. My sister assembled it while we were in China and it was hiding in our closet. Britton got a sneak peek of it accidentally one day and was really excited, so as soon as we brought it out on his birthday he was super excited!


The first thing he did was get in and out of it, in and out, in and out. So cute!

We were so glad to be home with our boy for his big second birthday! We have been blessed with two wonderful years with him -- years we came so close to missing out on. We are forever thankful for our boy!

Happy Birthday Britton!! I can't believe it has been 2 years since I took care of you in the NICU. You are such a precious miracle.
