Happy 2nd Birthday Dillon!

This past weekend, we traveled to Lulenburg, MA to celebrate Dillon's 2nd birthday!
Hooray - there's the birthday boy!
Nicholas loved exploring Dillon's yard with him - and found it an excellent place for airplane watching.
Dillon's Grandpa Ryan loves balloons and filled the house for this special occasion. The boys were wild for them.
They also started their own band...
"2 Boys, 2 Drum Sticks & A Metal Handrail"

The crowd went wild for the performances!
Aunt Angela made an awesome cake for the special birthday boy.
Dillon orchestrated the singing of the birthday song - not just once, but twice. Maybe this will become a family tradition - we sing and blow out the candle the number of years you're turning. From the sounds of the family's singing, we could use the extra practice!
He loved his fishing pole from Grandma & Grandpa Santore.
He's a natural, just like Grandpa.

And perfected his slam dunks with the "basketball OOOP" from Grandma & Grandpa Ryan.
After so much partying, Nicholas was tuckered-out as soon as we hit the highway. Thank goodness I caught this shot, since it only lasted about an hour. Any other picture from the remainder of the 6 hours in the car would not have been so 'peaceful.'
Since we know Dillon is the biggest fan of the "Nic-O-las" blog, he will be thrilled to see his moment of glory - as many times as he'd like!
We love you Dillon - Best wishes for another fantastically fun year!

Happy 2nd birthday Dillon! What a cake you had!!! It looks amazing. Glad you had a great trip--unfortunately car rides seem to be rough across the board-it must be the age!
