German's birthday week began with his first haircut by a real hair-stylist! The poor stylist was very patient with German and his dislike for the clippers.
On January 16th German not only went to see "German's Doctor", but he also turned two years old. We celebrated the big event with a small family dinner held the weekend before with one of Josh's co-workers and his wife, Andrew and Kim. The official birthday began with German's two year check-up. (The best part about that was that we were testing out the fourth pediatrician since our arrival here and we found her! After the appointment Joshua and I looked at each other with smiles and agreed that that stress was finally over.) Since German's birthday fell on our ward's 'park day' we made cupcakes and shared with all of his friends. I don't know if he even realized that they were singing to him, but he sure did enjoy the frosting! German received his first bike - a tricycle with a stick on the back for a parent to push - he really likes the bell that came with his new bike! We finished off the big day with pizza at Peter Piper Pizza. German's favorite game was the basketball game, of course! He pretty much likes to do whatever dad does!
Here's a picture of German's birthday cake. I should have known that the recipe had a few type-os when it called for an entire tablespoon of baking powder. Needless to say that the ice cream was the dessert of choice that night. You might also be able to see the spots where German helped to decorate the cake!
