This past Saturday marked Bear's 2nd birthday. We decided to do something small because he's just turning 2. Nothing against those who do big parties for their toddlers, but we'll probably start doing those once he's in preschool/child care so he has more friends of his age to play with.
In surprising news, my racist-in-denial in-laws decided they actually want to be grandparents for a change. Yeah, you read that
