Derek's Crazy Themed Birthday Party!

Today we had Derek's 2nd birthday party at my parents house in Corona. It just ends up being easier for all our family and friends to have it there rather than Huntington Beach. It was a lot of fun! His invitations were Handy Manny theme, but do you think there is ANYTHING Handy Manny in the stores? NO! So he ended up with a Finding Nemo bounce house, Bob the Builder party favors with cute Handyman aprons my mom made for the kids, and a #2 pinata. It was a fun party with lots of good friends. I think he didn't touch one bite of food and must have had 3 cupcakes and a pound of candy! But he went right to bed after everyone left around 8, so I'm not complaining. Happy Birthday little man! We love you!

I think Tommy wanted some peace and quiet by the end of the day
