Boys Meet Birthdays

I am not what you would call "good at birthdays". I now have two birthdays, five days apart, to keep up with. First we witness Ken's:

Ken had what is known as an "Un-themed Birthday". (We won't mention how old he is.) We actually had a fun day. We did the beach in the morning, then went to Abeulo's (new Mexican place) for lunch. These unfortunate photos were taken in the parking lot there... Jeff and Aubrey seem to be able to take good pix of themselves like this, why not us?? We did cake at our bible study that night. Local bakery reviews were perused for the purchase of this year's cake...I was quite proud of myself!

Cullen on the other hand, had a "Dinosaur Birthday". We held a party for him a few days before the actual big day, with guests in his honor. People have asked, "What do you do for a two year old's birthday?" My answer: "More than you'd think." I was especially proud of his dinosaur cupcakes.

Alternatively, Cullen wanted no part of a delicious dinosaur cupcake.

We'll close with two of Cullen's favorite gifts: Baby Einstein's "Animal Friends" CD, and Dusty the Talking Vacuum. Ken's gifts weren't nearly as exciting!!
