Happy Birthday, Dawson!

Dawson turned 2 today, and I honestly do not know where these last 2 years went (just like any mother would say, right?) We are having a party for him this weekend, but had to do something to celebrate the actual day!! This morning when he woke up he got to open a few presents...one from us, one from his Grandma and Grandpa Springer, and one from my Uncle. He loves the little table we bought him, he keeps sitting at it and saying chair! with a big smile on his face. The Cars themed cars from my uncle was also a big hit of course, as well as the Spin and Crash Raceway from my parents. He has played with nothing else all day! This afternoon after his nap, we decided to make it a tradition and go to Build a Bear and out to lunch like we did with him last year on his birthday. He was super excited when we got to Build a Bear and picked out a dog this time, and he loved stepping on the push peddle to stuff his puppy. After that he got to brush him, "bathe" him, and name him...Benji was the keeper. After that we headed over to Cheesecake Factory for a late lunch/early dinner (aka cheaper lunch prices!) We had a yummy lunch, Dawson loved his Mac n Cheese and they even brought out a mini sundae and sang Happy Birthday after which he got to blow out the candle. Overall Birthday? Success! Stay tuned for an update all about Dawson, and a post from his party! PS When you tell him to smile and say cheese...this is what you get...

After a delicious lunch! He was too into the sundae to look at the camera.
PSS....Last night was Young Women in Excellence, so Tasty Tuesday was neglected. Watch for next week though...Baked Potato Soup!
