Our next big adventure while in California was Josh's second birthday. Mama Tess and Papa Steve had already bought lots of fun toys, painting stations, and play house in anticipation of the kids' arrival, but for Josh's celebration we went a little ball crazy. They bought a basketball hoop, lots of bouncy balls, soccer balls and goals, and soft baseball bats and balls. The kids had a blast. Here's Josh and Carly before the birthday festivities. 
Josh loved the Lightning McQueen race car that he got, along with all the other goodies.
We had a pinata in true Mexican style. Little cars, dinosaurs, and candy rained from the sky, when the kids hit the pinata. 
Mama Tess made a delicious ice cream cake...I swear, that woman can make anything!
Josh was just as excited about his Nemo place mat as he was with all the toys. Of course, he's not a huge desert eater, so he didn't enjoy the delectable cake as much as the rest of us. 
The kids all took a turn blowing out the candle. Here's Carly showing them all how it's done like a pro.
Josh liked to sit in the ball bucket, while Kaela played next to him.
The only thing missing from the celebration was Daddy. We're so glad he let us leave him to go on vacation though.
