Collin's 2nd Birthday Party

Collin Stewart is officially 2 years old!  We can't believe it!  His parents, Maureen and Jon, threw his birthday party on Saturday the 26th (his actual birthday).  The weather had been pretty miserable leading up to the big day, so we were lucky to have the weather hold up enough for us to make it to the celebration.  

We should mention that along the way we made two quick stops in Bellingham - thse are must visit locations if you are ever traveling through the area.  One is the Fairhaven fish and chips joint that operates out of a red double decker bus.  Head into Fairhaven and you probably can't miss it.  SO delicious!  Then, what's better than fried fish?  Following up that fried fish with some fried dough!  That's right, doughnuts!  You've got to make a trip to LaFeens - apple and blueberry fritters the size of your head, and SO delish!  You'll find this amazing spot on Electric Avenue.  Yes, you read that right... Electric Avenue... how sick is that!?

Back to the real reason for the trip... Collin!  He is so adorable and well behaved, we just love him.  Granted, it was his birthday and he had very limited reason to throw a fit, but still, he's a great kid.  Here are some photos of him enjoying the day:

He's so into balloons!  This year he was really enjoying the mylar balloon, last year he was more into the hand blown ones.

Collin isn't super into movies, but he does love Cars... thus the Cars cake!  He was so excited for the cake but ultimately just wanted to play with the cars.  After some singing and photos, it was time for a quick cleaning of the cars... and the kid couldn't have been happier.  Who needs cake when you have toys!?

Collin's look of anticipation... he wants those cars...

Yesssss!  CARS!!!

Ok, I guess cake is pretty good too... he was pretty into the cake until he got a bite of just the lemon filling... then he was done.  So cute.

Collin got some pretty nice gifts, although he probably would have been just as happy if he'd just been given a balloon and two cake cars...  We can't wait to see him grow this year and catch up with him again at the big 3!
