Birthday Party for Tomas

Our little friend, Tomas, turned two and had a super fun birthday party.  The theme was dinosaurs, which Lincoln and Beau loved.  I heard lots of roars throughout the day!  We met everyone at a cool park near their house.  I think Daddy was the most excited about the giant wooden playground, which is odd because Daddy usually sees playgrounds as germland!  (Apparently he used to play one very similar in his youth!)  He and the boys did some running around, and we all agreed the playground was extra cool.  It was like a giant maze of ups and downs and twists and turns, and Beau was right on Linc's heels the whole time!

Of course Lincoln loved being the leader.  He was pretty patient to wait on Beau all the time.   There were only a few other kids at the park, so our little group had lots of space to play.

In between all of the playground fun, we had a yummy snack with Tomas.  There was an artist there doing caricatures, and I was dying for Linc and Beau to sit for one.  After Tomas took a turn, we climbed up on the bench and cheesed out!  The boys were so smiley and fairly still . . . they were mostly looking at pictures on my iPhone and looked up to say cheese whenever the man told them to.  Such good boys! 

OH.MY.GOODNESS.  The picture makes me laugh like crazy!  It is so exactly like them, right?  The hair on both is totally perfect.  Beau's sweeps to the side naturally and softly, and Lincoln's is kind of blunt. The face on both is totally spot on.  Beau's face is super round with chubby cheeks, and Lincoln's face is much slimmer with no chubby anything.    Lincoln loves to see himself in the drawing and wants to hang it in his room, but Beau's not too concerned about it.  Perhaps he thought the artist was a little too generous with the chub!  I am definitely framing this one for all to see!

Happy Birthday, Tomas!  Thanks for inviting us to a super fun party!  The park was great, the snacks were yummy, and the picture was definitely the highlight.  We may have to get serious about planning our next playdate in your neighborhood!
