I don't know if Finn will always like having his birthday at Thanksgiving, but I do. I'm so thankful for every blessing this time of year, but having my baby's birthday this weekend makes it extra special. We are abundantly blessed and I am so grateful to have this little man in our lives. Hard to believe he's two!
We made gluten-free chocolate cupcakes for everyone since we had three gluten allergy guests for his first party. Yum!
He was just getting the idea of opening gifts. It was very fun to watch him get excited as he started to see what was inside. Such a fun prelude to the Christmas holiday around the corner.
Big brother, Hudson, was happy to help too!
We had another celebration on Thanksgiving day at my brother, Tom's house. I forgot my camera. : ( So I will have to get photos from him. Then on Friday, Finn's actual birthday, we woke up to the first snow of the year. It was magical. What a special treat for his special day. 
That day we went to Granny's to play. We had dinner there and Uncle Tom came over with his clan to share in the fun.
Finn had another cupcake! : ) It was hilarious because he got the concept of blowing out the candles, but tried to do so with his nose! Probably best we didn't have a cake! haha
The evening ended with a splash with cousin, Ian. Fun times!Fun Finn Facts at age 2:
