Evening of the Two Year Old

We had a nice, low-key evening at home for Spencer's birthday.  He loves nothing more than playing outside in the evenings.  So, his birthday presents fit in nicely...a grill and a picnic table.

Check out that static electricity in my hair!

Spencer didn't get to have candles at his birthday party Saturday because the wind was blowing too much and they wouldn't stay lit.  This was his first encounter with candles.  As you can see from the first picture, he was not too sure of them, but when he figured out he could blow them out, we lit those candles at LEAST 10 more times for him to blow out (even after we had eaten some cake).  We even practiced being a four year old and lit four candles!
