It's official, He's 2!

Happy Birthday Biniyam! On Feb 7th our sweet boy turned 2.

His day began by opening his gift from Ella
For breakfast he requested a "breakfast cookie" In Bini's daily list of requests, breakfast cookies come second only to chocolate ice cream. We took the opportunity to sing Happy Birthday to him at each meal.
For dinner his friend Judson and Lilli (and their siblings Emma and Owen) joined the celebration.
Pizza!

Ella, as the self appointed head of the party planning committee, decided we'd make puppy cake pops instead of regular cake (she got the cake pops cookbook for her birthday) They were delicious! Cake mixed with frosting, made into balls and dipped in chocolate, yumm... and of course served with chocolate ice cream!


This weekend I decided to try twist in Bini's hair, and thanks to his new found interest in TV I was able to get him to sit somewhat still for the 40 min. it took to do them.  I think he looks pretty cool.
