double the pleasure, double the fun

This past Saturday we had a birthday party for both of our boys, and it was definitely "double the fun!" Here is the front of the invitation that we sent:The inside began:
Load up your wheels... whatever you like; hot wheels, a scooter, or maybe your trike!
Bring them on over to the Paul's driveway and get ready to celebrate TWO birthdays.

We'll ride and we'll race and we'll have lots of fun.
Then we'll break for some donuts when we've decided we're done.


We had a wonderful turn out for the party, and it was so fun to see the "wheels" that everyone decided to bring. Our baby birthday boy got some new "wheels" of his own from Uncle Chris & Aunt Amy. Look at his new skid steer! Maybe he'll be working on his own bike jump track before too long Chris?!?

Berkley chose to ride her pink bike. She has gotten really fast on it and is begging us to take the training wheels off. That might be our next adventure!The other birthday boy rode his stick horse for quite a while that morning, but he soon decided to saddle his new red bike that he got for Christmas. (The chaps are a birthday present from Mimi & Papa that he is already very attached to!) He has just recently started riding this bike since he finally can touch the pedals! His good friend, Avery, brought her brand new bike that she just got for her birthday.Some of our friends decided to bring their scooters. (Beckham rode his new scooter some too!)Our friend, Luke, decided to bring some really BIG wheels... his monster truck. It was a BIG hit as well, to say the least.
The most original "wheels" were definitely the ones that Uncle Chris & Aunt Amy rode in on. Very impressive. Thanks for joining in on the fun!Once all of our friends arrived on their wheels, our driveway got really busy. Berkley & Lily decided they needed to direct the traffic. (Using the racing flags, of course!)After all of the racing and riding, the kids were hungry. It was definitely time to pull the donut holes out, which are Beckham's favorite! They were a big hit with all of the kids. After all, who wouldn't enjoy grabbing handfuls of donut holes out of a big truck?

Brenner quickly realized there was something yummy up on the table. He helped himself to the leftovers!

Berkley caught him in the act and gave him a hand.

After donuts, it was time for presents! Beckham was more than ready to dig in.
Surprisingly, Brenner enjoyed getting into the presents as well.

Beckham thanked all of his friends for his wonderful gifts. His friend, Cole, gave him one of his favorites... a tiny horse trailer complete with a tiny horse. Perfect for this little cowboy!
Beckham said his goodbyes to all of his buddies as the party came to an end. Here he is giving Avery a big squeeze! So sweet!

Beckham & Brenner both had a fabulous time at their party. Thanks to all of our friends and family who came to celebrate with us and make it such a special day!
