Hobbes' birthday party!

Today was Hobbes' 2nd birthday party! His actual birthday is on Saturday, but we have a wedding to go to, so we celebrated today! Since his favorite movie is "Finding Nemo," I decided to do a fish-themed party. I found a really cute idea for a cake, as seen below, and we had goldfish crackers and fish-shaped cookies, too. ( I realized halfway into it that it would be a lot more work than I thought:) Aunt Kathryn let us have it at her house and back yard, so we set up a little pool and water station.
We had several of Hobbes' friends come, including: Archer and Jaiken Wilkins, Gus Grauke, Jackson Crapuchetts, and George Owen. The boys played with water balloons(made by Aunt Bethany) squirt guns, and whatever else they could find in the yard. Everything went well, considering it was nearly 100 degrees outside! Hobbes had a 2 year old moment when everyone sang Happy Birthday, but soon got over it at the prospect of eating cake. Our present to Hobbes was a betta fish...which we named Rolando, after Daddy's favorite opera singer, Rolando Villazon. So, Happy birthday Hobbes, and we wish you could've been there, Daddy!
