Tyler's 2nd Birthday

How time flies! Tyler is 2 yrs old and had his birthday party on Oct 31st. As it was Halloween and we didn't know what everybody's plans were, I decided on a simpler affair and opted for a tea party at 3:00 pm. That way, everybody can show up, eat some cakes and stuff and blow a few candles and go off to do their Halloween activities or join us for our neighbourhood trick-or-treat activity.

However, an overwhelming response of 27 yes's sorta put me into a panic mode and my simple affair once  again turned into a big party!!! It just means Tyler is popular, right?!

Anyways, everybody showed up and lots of them in cool costumes(yay!!) and i think Tyler had a good time. Not sure if he understood everything but he got really excited about his cake which in the shape of his favorite thing in the world - BUS!!

Here are some of the cool costumes...

As usual, all my very kind friends and Tyler's grandparents were more than generous with gifts. We actually had to break the present opening sessions into multiple days just to finish them!!!!

Tyler is quite familiar with opening presents by now..

Once it became dark, all of us(including me) got into our family outfit and got ready to go trick-or-treating. As you can see, we were the family of Teletubbies! Steffen(our adopted son) kindly stepped in appropriately as Tinky Winky!! More trick-or-treating pictures in another blog.

We are ready!!

Tyler's party went on till 12 am that night(he went to bed much earlier than that!!). I think I'd call that party a success!!!
