Nelson debuts being two today. Happy Birthday to me, the little brother, the man in the house, Mr. Nelson, Mr. Handsome, just to mention a few of my nicknames around here! As Mom does with all of us, she took me to a nice spot of a walk to take a few photos of me turning two.
Do you like my hat? Party hats are getting really hard to find, especially nice, fun ones. Last year, Mom ordered special ones for Bailie and Madison but what about me? Well, she had The Sand Dollar Dog Company make me a custom hat of my very own. It is where my sisters got their hats from last year. Our friends Rosy and Sunny suggested this place for hats and more. They are absolutely right! I could not wait to see my hat but Mom made me wait until my birthday week.
Ta-da, here is my very own birthday party hat! Of course, I’m lime green guy, so it has lime green, and blue because I’m a boy. It sure is stylish and I just love it! No more last minute party hat panic for me because I have my hat for years to come!
Birthday photos have been tough for us this winter as we haven’t had much snow, and it is always dark and cloudy. We found a day when the sun came out a little bit, so we headed out. Mom and I had a nice walk and took a few photos too.
You can’t see much of my hat in this photo, but you can get a good look at the birthday collar. We all share it and wear it during our own birthday week.
It’s always fun to get up on things and pose for photos like this part of a tree stump that we found. Since I’m not afraid of anything really, I can climb up wherever my photographer would like me.
When a guy debuts being two, he needs a sign. Mom always carries a chalkboard and chalk so we all can pose with our new ages. No chalkboard needed since we found this downed tree. Woo Hoo! I’m now two! Stay tuned tomorrow for some party photos and to see the party treats I chose for this year.
I’m joining Brian’s Home Blog in the Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!

Happy birthday Nelson and you are one handsome guy and so smart. My favorite is you sitting up in the tree posing
I’ve gotten really good at getting my picture taken and it is actually fun.
Happy 2nd Birthday, Nelson! I love your hat!
Thank you. I think it is the perfect hat for me and it will fit my style even when I am a bit older.
HAPPY NELSON IS 2 DAY! Love your hat, your walk in the wintery wood … your “stump chalk sign” … just all of it,

Awww, thank you. It is going to be a Grand day, I just know it.

Happy, Happy Birthday handsome Nelson! We know you’ll enjoy a special day because you are super special! Thanks for joining Angel Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop!
Thank you. I’m thankful to have a wonderful family and friends in person and online.
Happy Happy Birthday Nelson!! I love your birthday hat! The lime green and blue are great colors for you! And they’re Zen’s colors, too; though for him I call the green “Kelly” green since he was born on St. Patrick’s Day (2022). And of course blue because he’s a boy. (But blue also because it was Radar’s and Bogie’s color and Bogie is his middle name.) You boys are in great company with each other! 💚💙💚💙
How sweet 🙂 Mom prefers the lime green for me because it is so bright, but true lime green isn’t always easy to find.
My Goodness, Nelson!!! Should we start calling you Lord Nelson?? The fallen trees really highlight your intelligence and prowess!!! Can’t wait to see the Party photos. I think your sisters will turn GREEN with envy!!
I know we will have a fun party even though Madison won’t be able to attend this year. We will celebrate together in a couple weeks. Her health is the priority.
Nelson
