So, even though his birthday is tomorrow – we went ahead and celebrated tonight while my parents were here from Tennessee.  Here are some of the festivities

Here is a video of us tonight:

Here is a special video to Nicole and Aaron Marshall in South Africa – thanks for your love . . . and your drum!!

Now let’s start at the beginning -we went to Hacienda to celebrate:

Elliana lost her first tooth tonight – somewhere between chip #4 and Chip #10

Dane gazing out of the window of the car – I am sure just in wonder of his now, 2 year old brother

Trying to blow out the candles – like a moth to a flame!!

Yeah!. . . it was good cake

Here is the birthday boy. . . .I can’t believe he is 2!!

Dane is even getting into the spirit!!

Family photo time!!!!!

Opening presents as Nana and Papa, as well as the Thursby’s (cousin keegan is in the photo) watched from Florida through Skype!!

Thanks for celebrating with us, and thank you God for allowing us to borrow little Dakota!!
