Dear Bennett,

Today, you are two! Your birthday is always so different from the rest of ours because we are always traveling!

Before we left, we invited your 3 friends — Luke, Jacob and Jojo to go to Build a Bear with you for a tiny two year old party. You had a fantastic time! We also went to Grandma and Jiddoh’s house for a quick visit because on your second birthday, Grandma turned 75! It was fun to spend some time celebrating with her before we left for our vacation.

Today, we went to the train park called Travel Town where Papa used to go as a kid. We rode a train, checked out old train cars, watched model trains go around a track and picked out some new Chuggingtons. Then, we went to Farell’s — an old fashion ice cream parlor that Nana used to go to on her birthday. You were quite confused by their birthday song, but there was a lot of great food and ice cream, so you were quite happy!

You are such an enthusiastic two year old! You get excited about everything, and life’s a party to you. You bring us so much joy and happiness! You are speaking in complete sentences and you have a lot of facial expressions. You have your own personality, and it adds so much to our family. We’re so grateful for you, Buddy.

Love you,

Mama
