Woof Woof Party!!!!

The much anticipated woof woof party went off without a hitch. Our house was decorated stem to stern with every kind of dog. Zane and I had been working on dog decorations all week, making lots of famous dogs, Clifford, Mr. Peabody, Snoopy, Toto, Lassie, and my childhood dogs Moses and Saudi. We hung doggy decorations through out the week and today we added all kinds of balloons, paw and all of Rowan's favorite colors. We brought out all of Rowan's dogs and put them in a little pen in the living room so they could celebrate with us. Zane thought Danger the Freedom Eagle should be on the mantel, keeping watch, to make sure everyone was safe. Zane thought we should make a party play list on my phone so we could have a dance party, he really is quite the party planner.

Of course we had a dog themed menu as well, hot dogs, puppy chow, scooby snacks, cheese and summer sausage cut into dog bone shapes, and woof woof cupcakes. And of course we chips and queso because my sons love chips and dip. I had an elaborate plan, consisting of a beautiful country scene of a do in front of a big white house with a wrap around porch, for the cake. But since that was irrational I just put plastic dogs on cupcakes. Equally as adorable right??

 Zach, always dedicated to his craft, grilled our burgers and dogs.

 Able enjoying and epic hot dog!

The kids partied hard, dancing, riding in the new fire truck, camping in Zane's room, singing, screaming, having a blast. It was great fun and Rowan was surrounded by lots of love. These moments are the reason I moved home. My kids are completely comfortable with their Aunts and Uncles, their cousins, and their Grandmother. Rowan requests to call all of them at random times because at two they are an important part of his life. At two Rowan loves all his Aunts, Uncles, and his cousins, and I love that these people will be in his everyday life to help guide him. Thank you so much to everyone who loves my kids, who supports our parenting, and who have sent their love and helped celebrate Rowan's life this week. It's been a wonderful celebration for our sweet little boy!

 

The birthday boy and I, love this kid!

 The birthday boy, who amazingly kept his top dog sticker on all evening! The party hat didn't last as long.

 Rowan got wonderful presents from everyone, thanks!

 The Mickey chair was even more fun to sit in while it was still in the box.

 

Rowan had great fun with Uncle Able's beard.

And then he was two!
