I sang Happy Birthday to him as we were driving to Gail's in the morning. He kept saying "Again, Mommy" so I sang over and over again. Who can resist singing happy birthday over and over at the birthday boy's request?
We took cupcakes for Karsten and his friends to enjoy at Gail's - sounds like everyone enjoyed them. One of the little boys wished Karsten a happy birthday as soon as we walked in the door - so nice!
When I picked him up from Gail's, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner. They had picked up Gaga to bring her to town for Karsten's birthday. They had to take a detour because of all of the flooding in Nebraska and Missouri, but they made it. Thank you to them for picking Gaga up and Thanks to Kevin for meeting them 'halfway'!
Since he had a 'nack' shortly before dinner, he ate a few bites of his food, then said 'I'm done!' and he wanted on Grandma's lap. Of course she didn't object, and it ended up working out well because he ate some more.
Then he got to open a few presents - this one was a hit. "GREEN ONE TRASH TRUCK" as Karsten said when he saw it - he was so excited!

Then it was time to sing Happy Birthday again! I love this look as he watched the flame on his candle. He wasn't so sure about it at first. Once we helped him blow out the candle he said "again, again" so he got to do it twice.
Then he opened his birthday present from Gaga - a picnic table!
Scott was excited to see there was 'some' assembly required. :)
Playing a game with Gaga...he laughed and laughed. He has such a contagious laugh!

I think Karsten had a great second birthday - and the celebrations have just begun!
