Hayden’s 2nd Birthday Party Tractor Style (Part 2)

After our guests arrived, we enjoyed some delicious brisket we picked up from Circle H Bar B Q (a local place).  I made all the fixin’s.  I made PW Potato Salad, PW Baked Beans, and coleslaw from a combination of a couple of recipes I found online.  None of which I had ever made before.  I thought it was pretty good if I do say so myself.  :)

What is a party without a wheelbarrow full of Blue Bell?

Hayden was blessed with many new tractors, dump trucks, a basketball goal, a Chuggington train set and trains, two different guitars, a remote control bus, books, puzzles, blocks, clothes, Leap Frog Count and Scan, summer fun activities, and Target gift cards.  My goodness, he is one lucky boy!

The boys loved Hayden’s new basketball goal.

Hayden’s gift from us (Mommy and Daddy) was  a new tractor of his own!

It was a little hard for Hayden to use the foot petal.  Good thing he has some great cousins that helped him out!  I think each of his cousins took turns holding it down as he went around and around the house!

Don’t worry, he has already learned how to stand up and drive all by himself!

Piñata time!  They were serious business about this piñata!  Swinging with all they had.  It took them a little bit to bust through but it gave them each a chance to have a few turns.

They loved it!

Hayden was checking out baby Hayson.  Hayden is in love with babies. 

Real babies.  Baby cows.  Baby elephants.  Baby horses.  Anything baby.

Kaden kind of liked the tractor!  I think he might need one.

So much so that he just kept going, and going, and going.  Never mind the tricycle!  It was in his way!!  So funny!
