The Kieffer Family: Happy Birthday Owen Robert!

I can hardly believe that Rob and I have a 2 year old! It has been a very busy week full of celebrating Owen's big day! On his actual birthday, we made his favorite meal (macaroni and cheese with hotdogs), sang Happy Birthday, and ate cupcakes. He didn't understand that it was his birthday necessarily, but he did now that it was a special day and he acted very proud all day. It was a nice quiet evening. We also had a party for him on Saturday with family in the area. It was a lot of fun to have everyone (any excuse for a party). It started out a little rough for Owen, as he woke up early from his nap and was very sad. Then, he wanted to open all the presents that he saw in the basement, and didn't understand why he couldn't (which resulted in a meltdown). However, once we had a little talk, he ate a little snack, and a some kids came over for him to play with, Owen had a great evening! We were so blessed to have so much family here to celebrate with us...Owen is one spoiled little boy :) I'm not going to lie, I get a little teary eyed when I look back through his pictures of when he was first born...I can't believe that two years have gone by. It's amazing to me how much a can still remember when I look back on the day he was born. I may not be able to remember where I put my keys, to return phone calls, or other's birthdays...but the days that my boys were born I seem to remember like they were yesterday :)

We have the boys' well check visits coming up in the next week, so I will update more about all the exciting things that Owen is up to after his appointment. For now, here are some pictures on his actual birthday (except for the cake).

The 2 year old!

He got really good at blowing out candles

I have to say that I am very proud of his cake...this took quite a toll on my kitchen, and a little longer than expected. I teared up a little when I had to cut into Mickey for his birthday party :)
