The Sapps: Dane turns 2!!

We celebrated Danes second birthday on the 16th of October. Both sides of the family came to our house for his party, even Granny Great was able to come down from Nebraska to attend. Dane was so excited to see all of his favorite people in one room. We had a delicious cook out of hot dogs and hamburgers and then we opened gifts. Opening presents this year was much more exciting than last year, he was really into it this time. The hardest part is trying to keep his attention to keep opening the next one because he wants to stop and play with the cool toy he just opened. He pretty much got everything on his wish list. He got two soccer balls which he is really good at kicking. His uncle Luke and Joe both played a little game with him. He got a couple wooden puzzles, a hot wheels race track, spiderman slippers, model magic, a few books, a remote control car, and a Spongebob fishing pole that his Papa Mike got him so he can go fishing with him.Then there was daddy's favorite gift which was a Nebraska windbreaker outfit, GO HUSKERS! Now that he has had a chance to play with some of the toys is pretty clear that one of his favorite ones is the hoops and yoyo card that my mom and sister got him that sings a little birthday song. I think this is one of the few times where a birthday card was actually worth the $5 it cost. After we opened presents we sang Happy Birthday and tried to give him time to blow out the 2 candles but in an effort to save the cupcake and my hand from catching on fire I blew them out for him and then he devoured it. We concluded the night visiting out on the back porch chatting it up and listening to Papa Bob and Papa Mike sing and play the guitar. The highlight of the night was Dane saying "Nana" for the first time. Susie was so excited she fell on the floor hugging him. He also knows how to say Luke and Papa. What an enjoyable time it is having all the family together to celebrate such a sweet boy turning 2.
