Happy Birthday ATTICUS

December 17th Atticus became an official toddler! The first year of his life went both fast and slow, but this second year went waaay too fast. It has been a really really fun year. What boy doesn't love trains. And what girl doesn't like the Cricut scrapbook miracle? The decorations turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself. Thanks to Zach Dustin Daddy and Bethy we had a choo-choo up an running for the big day and Grandma Hansen and I braved a homemade Choo-Choo Train birthday cake... 3 1/2 hours later it was finished! No joke.

This boy and his BALLOONS! Atticus still loves balloons. And for that reason I was hoping to hide them until right before the party started... He found them. This is exactly what happened (I wish i had it on video): He gasped, clenched his fists and shook with excitement. Ran over to the laundry room door, peeked his head around the corner and said (with great enthusiasm) WHAT?!?! My balloons! Then proceeded to show everyone and take them everywhere! We were laughing so hard.

He would let the balloons go up to the ceiling and jump to get them.. The party goers!! Atticus is definitely one loved TWO YEAR OLD.
