CJ's 3rd Birthday

CJ's 3rd birthday was February 14th, but we had his party on the 23rd to allow Claire to get one more week older.  CJ has been in to all super heroes lately but especially Batman, so naturally we had a Batman party!  15 kids and their parents made for a full and messy house!

Here are the Batman letters mom made for him.

And his Batman mask and cape

And capes and masks for all the kids to make.

We also had a Batman bean bag toss, which lasted about 5 minutes.

And our own Gotham city.

Batman cupcakes...

Daddy taking a time-out to feed Claire.

The favors were tiny buckets full of Batman pez, stickers, tattoos, and a bracelet. 

CJ's 2nd Birthday

CJ turned 2 this week! Since it was also Valentine's Day, we made nice Happy Birthday CJ / Happy Valentine's Day party favors and took them to CJ's school. The bags were stuffed with Valentine's Day notebooks, crayons, and stickers. And of course, there were cupcakes, all the way from NYC.

CJ wore his 2-year old shirt to school.

Back at home, and only because it was his birthday, mom let him get away with a handful of 6 lollipops at once!

Actually, here's what happened when mom suggested he have only 1 at a time.

Once daddy got home, it was time to open presents in the living room.

CJ got some new animals for his Little People zoo from mommy.

And some new clothes from the grandmas.

And a new pair of glow in the dark crocs from daddy.

And a national geographic book and memory game from Gamma.

And some cars from Gamma.

Grandpa came over later with a new remote control car.

And here he is modeling his new raincoat from Aunt Maggie and Uncle Matt.

CJ's B-day Celebration in NYC

Getting ready for the big trip into the city, CJ thought it would be fun to put on mommy's mascara. Didn't he do a good job?

Baby Shae came to CJ's birthday lunch with his parents Emily and Gil.

Mike, Kal, and Courtney came by too, on their way to Fashion Week festivities.

CJ was very excited about his cake with a car on it.

It seemed like all he really wanted to do for his birthday in the city was ride the bus! Easy enough...

But we forced him to go to the Children's Museum, where he ended up having a blast. Check out the pictures from the museum here.
