We celebrated Kyler's birthday with three different parties. The first party was with Erik's family. Both sets of Erik's grandparents came, as well as his parents, brother and sister. We had dinner, cake and ice cream, and opened presents. It was a nice evening, so we were able to eat outside on our back patio. Here are some pictures from the first party:
Yay, it's my birthday!!
Kyler's cake! (Okay, I know that "Happy" is in really fat writing, but I was having trouble with the tube of frosting...)

One of Kyler's presents! Erik's mom cross-stitched this for him, very cool!
Another present, a sand and water table!! We will have fun with that this summer!
The second birthday celebration was on Kyler's actual birthday, April 12th. That was a Monday, so we just celebrated with the three of us. We had dinner together, Kyler opened his presents from mom and dad, and then we took him to Four Queens for his first taste of ice cream! He also had his first cupcake with his ice cream. He wasn't quite sure what to think about either one. Below is a picture of his first bite of ice cream; however, his opinion has quickly changed, whenever Erik or I has a bowl of ice cream, Kyler is sitting right next to you, leaning over the bowl because he wants some and then he gets mad when it's all gone! :) The same was true with his cupcake, he wasn't sure what to do with it, and was more interested in playing with the frosting than eating the cupcake; however, by that Saturday, he definitely wanted to eat the cupcake instead of play with it! Below are some pictures from Kyler's second celebration:
Opening his card from Mom and Dad (he loved opening the cards and got mad when we took it away to open the present)
Opening one of his presents, a Bible!
Sitting forward in his car seat on the way to Four Queens!
First taste of ice cream...
The "aftermath" of the cupcake!
Our final celebration was with Ashley's family the weekend after Kyler's birthday. Ashley's grandma, parents, brother, aunts, uncles, cousins, and old babysitter all came over to celebrate (21 people in all!). We had dinner together, opened presents and had cake and ice cream. It was nice out again, so we were able to eat outside. We were especially thankful that it was nice for this party because we wasn't sure where we would have put 21 people for dinner in our house! Below are some pictures from this celebration:
