mr two!






Two whole years of you, funny, charming, big-ideas you.  It's going to be so much fun to see where the next year takes you.

We love your stories and imagination and energy, your sense of humor and enthusiasm and opinions.  We even love it when you storm around and give orders, tell us all like it is.

You're our little buddy.

Happy Birthday, love, Grandma and Grandpa and Everybody

halloween party 2026

 

So many pictures, all out of order, but who cares?
Next year I am ordering toilet paper online--a non perforated kind.  The perforations are the weak link here.  The toilet paper was so fierce, even said strong on the label.  Heidi didn't even want it left behind because she's concerned if it is safe for her septic, it's that tough.

Well, not in the perforations it isn't.

Anyway, it added to the challenge.









Good work, you two!


They needed the fangs right away.  That's fine. There's no rule on when we can crack open the treat bags.  There aren't any rules on any of this, honestly.







Five spins after the blindfold, and then  GO.  The shoes and water dishes add to the challenge.


Thanks to all of you fun-loving people for a pretty splendid night, and Heidi and your family are wonderful, just the nicest hosts.  

All my love, Val

happy birthday to you




It's been a wonderful year, watching you grow into an amazing FOUR YEAR OLD kid!


Happy Birthday beautiful boy.  

This whole family is better because of you.

Lucky little old us.

Love, Grandma and Grandpa and Everybody
