Zach turns 2, Mom visit, Gabe's birthday party!

My mom visited the last bit of April and early May for the boys birthdays, so that was a very busy time for us. Our little Z turned two-years-old on April 25. We had a small party for him, invited one family with twin boys his age and of course the Grandmas! We did a Spider-Man theme because Zach really likes action oriented things. Every time we go to the toy store or some place like Target, he makes a beeline for Iron Man and The Avenger's stuff. Obviously, he is waaay to young to watch those movies, but he recognizes the characters from me watching interviews and movie trailers on You Tube. I do let him watch the old Spider-Man cartoon from the early 80's. It's fairly tame.

Craziness during gift opening

Gabe's birthday isn't until the end of the month, but we had his party at the beginning of the month to avoid people not being able to come during Memorial Day Weekend (I think we'll do this every year we have parties). Of course, we totally failed on taking a ton of pics during all the socializing since we were trying to socialize ourselves. But we do have a few. The theme this year was Hungry, Hungry, Hippo because it is one of Gabe's favorite games and he hippos are one of his favorite animals. 

Kids kept these as a parting gift.

Strawberry jam and cream cheese

We got those hippo candies from World Market. It's kinda like a glorified Kit-Kat, very good.

It was fun having my mom here. We got to drink coffe together in mornings and Craig and I were able to have two date nights while she watched the boys. Both she and my brother are coming back to visit in June and August. Hope all the mamas had a good Mother's Day!
