Agent P's 2nd Birthday!!

Agent P turned 2 years old this year. I can't believe that my baby is already 2. He is growing up way too fast. Luckily he's not too grown up to cuddle with me. We had a Dr. Seuss party for him at our house. We invited lots of family and friends. He loves having people over, especialy when they bring him presents. :) (this will have a lot of photos, enjoy!)
The pile of presents. He got A LOT of gifts. He is loved!

This is our backyard. We set up tables and canopies for everyone to sit under and eat their lunch. We set up Dr. Seuss books for the centerpieces and hung different colored paper lanterns.
Here are some family members waiting for the party to start. I used the same "Happy Birthday" sign that I made last year. Hanging from the ceiling are quotes from different Dr. Seuss books. We also had the movie "The Cat in the Hat" playing on the TV.

For lunch we served Green Eggs and Ham Sandwiches. The eggs were very tasty! After hard boiling them I cut them in half and put the yolks in a bowl and put the whites in a bowl of water with green food coloring and let them sit for a bit.
After lunch we played some games. This one was "Pin the Hat on the Cat". A special thanks to Stephanie for printing the cat out for me.
Even the grown ups played along.
The birthday boy preferred to sit and watch the games and read a book.
More family watching the games.
The winner of pin the hat on the cat! He won two rackets and a ball for playing with in the pool.
The birthday boy steeling candy. We had a small candy buffet for everyone.

The other game we played was a fishing game. I cut out pictures of fish (One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish) and had them in two bowls. We had two teams and each team had to fish out one fish, run to the end end and put it in the bowl. The first team to get all of their fish to the other side won a basket of candy bars.

It was finally present time. P had fun opening his presents. Then he opened the present from his mom and dad. His very own vacuum!
The boy loves to vacuum. After opening that present, that's all he wanted to play with. He didn't want to open anything else.
He's crying because I gave the vacuum to Uncle Jamie to take out of the package. He didn't understand that it needed to be taken out of the box and put together. Jamie said he has never felt so much pressure to be fast at opening something. He was nervous. Agent P didn't care to open anymore presents until I opened this one for him from Grandma and Grandpa Beardall.
Buzz and Woody dolls from Toy Story. He was excited to get them. He stopped thinking about his vacuum for about a minute. Then he realized that they had to be taken out of the box too.

He finally got to play with his vacuum. He was very happy about that. I'm surprised he didn't want to sleep with it. But then he did have his Buzz and Woody dolls to sleep with.
Then we got to sing Happy Birthday to him and he blew out his candles. He loves blowing out candles. When we're at someone else's birthday, we have to hold him back so he doesn't blow out their candles. Isn't the cake awesome! I wish I had a better picture of it. I'll have to get one from my mom. She made it. It's the Cat in the Hat's hat. Around the rim of the hat are prints of Dr. Seuss books printed on edible paper and put on fondant. It was a really fun day!! Happy Birthday Agent P, we love you!!
