Pappy Birfday to you!!!

This is a big day in the Pupek house ... Maxim turns 2!!! When Max woke up this morning the floor in his bedroom was covered with balloons ... I guess when Max saw all the balloons on the floor he climbed out of bed because when I walked in he was sitting with all the balloons and having a great time!!!

I brought cupcakes to his class today and we celebrated turning 2 with all his friends and Roman got to join us for the party!

mmmmm.... GOOD!

Roman got to join the celebration fun!

For dinner we got to have a family dinner ... something we haven't been able to do all week since Papa has been working so many hours of overtime because of the storm a week ago down in the NYC/Westchester area!!

The book of choice before bed was "Curious George's Birthday Surprise"!!!

The birthday celebration continues this weekend with a family party on Sunday ... I'm sure there will be lots of presents and more cake and ice cream!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Maxim!!!
