thematic thursday (around town): Mad Max's 2nd Birthday

Hi Friends,

How are you?

On Thursdays we will now provide a posting that relates to themes and things to do around town (whether it is around our town or yours!)... and this week we are focusing on new beginnings .. and the beginning of the New Year started with a new beginning for me - I turned 2 (you can read more about my 2nd Birthday Party here and here)!

So what did we do on my actual 2nd Birthday?  We explored all things I love around town.

We (Me, Mommy, Sissy, and Gramby) went to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to see their dinos, and we went Downtown to have lunch at Niko Nikos with Daddy and Pops.  Then we even went to Target and got more prizes for me (and some other items)... andddd.... we went home and enjoyed opening up more gifts and eating cake.  I couldn't have possibly had a better birthday!

Mommy said she loves this photo of me peeking over at the dinos.  Hey, curators - can you make these displays a little lower please?  Thank you.

That fish is HOW old, Gramby?

Mommy says she loves this pic too.  I'm a dino - ROAR!

Mommy and Sissy look up - it's so tall.

Niko Nikos Greek Food in Downtown Houston mmmm.

The park was nice and empty because it was COLD in Houston (well pretty cold for Houston weather - 50's maybe).  It was nice eating outside though because it was sunny, and there was a heat lamp behind us.

This is my gift from Gramby and Pops.  Gramby did a great job with the gift wrapping - it matches my party theme - Where The Wild Things Are.  Gramby even changed the photo of the Max character below to me, Max!

Yay!  Thanks for my Fisher Price Little People airplane (just like the one I flew to see Tia Tam recently).

We also sang Happy Birthday (again), and I blew out my candles on my own!

But ... who is in the mood to eat cake, when you have an airplane to play with?
