Kai's 2-year old Bday Party at the Lakeridge Athletic Club

Wednesday March 5, 2008
Can you believe that this is Kai's 3rd birthday cake/celebration? We had his party 6 days after his actual birthday so that his cousins Cohen and Hope (from Chicago) could celebrate with him. It was a pleasant surprise that my sister came up with this idea to fly out so Kai could be with family.

Hope patiently sits there waiting to chow. And she's wearing the leopard outfit we got her for Xmas! How cute!
Since Cheri was only available weekdays (her weekends are spent at work), we held Kai's luncheon party where I work at the Lakeridge Athletic Club on Wednesday.

Kai's mouth is just stuffed! I guess he really wants to get to dessert right away! Which by the way, I baked the cupcakes the night before and Cheri decorated it. I got the idea off the back of a cake box!

We served dinosaur cheese macaroni and meatballs. Followed by the tower of Elmo birthday cupcakes.

Happy birthday Kai! We love you!

Hope gets her first try at birthday cake!

Having tasted the good stuff, she screams at Mommy for not feeding her cake fast enough. Look at that surprised look on Cheri's face!

Kai opens the gift from nana. And is thrilled with the Thomas Train computer. (He takes it to bed with him every night to hear the choo-choo sound).

While the boys check out this gadget, Hope is checking out the wheels on this car.

Yeah! More Dr. Seuss books to go along with Horton, the elephant stuffed animal.

Elmo party-favors from Kai.

Hope and her mama snuggle.

Kai breaks the ice by showing everyone his belly button. For some reason he just loves to play with his naval while socializing.

Kai on Birthday Morn!

Isn't that a great drawing of Elmo from Auntie Jen and Uncie Derek from Chicago? Obviously Kai is pleased with his gift (more to come with that on another blog!)

One of the best presents for Kai- gramma and grampa on his birthday (who flew in from Ottawa, Canada).

Trick or Treat with Elmo and the Lion

Kai and Lukas see each other for the first time in their Halloween outfits.

Tuesday, October 23, 2007

Kai and Lukas appeared to be entertained by the other's Halloween outfit. With Kai dressed as Elmo and Lukas as a lion, they toted their trick-or-treat bags and walked from store to store for some goodies in downtown Lafayette.

Kai learned to grab the good stuff...chocolate bars! Good boy, Kai!

In no time, Kai and Lukas learned to grab candy from the bowls on their own. Kai is happily sucking on a lollipop soon followed by 2 others... and of course had a sugar rush after that!

Several kids recognized Elmo and were fixated on him. Some repeatedly chanted his name, and others just stared. A mom took a picture of Elmo Kai next to her son whose eyes would not leave him. Lucky for me, I found another successful outfit for Kai just like the Cookie Monster outfit he wore last year.

Taking an outdoor candy break!

Ute wears her cow pants but is missing the top half and her utters. ha ha. Lukas is being trailed by Kai's daddy, Greg, who holds his cup to a sugar rush.
