Beau Turns 2!

Today was a big day at the Haines household.

Aside from cutting 5 inches off of my hair and going to my first job interview, today was Beau's birthday party!!

Since we don't know his exact birthday, the vet gave us an estimate and speculated his birthday was in February, so naturally we deemed Valentine's Day as the day this precious prince entered the world.

Unfortunately I wasn't in town for this blessed day, so we decided while everyone was home we would throw Beau a birthday party.

And throw a party we did...

Mike and Lisa picked up some good 'ole fashioned Texas BBQ for dinner, and my aunt and grandmother came over to join in on the festivities 

Beau is VERY popular. 

Then it was time for....BIRTHDAY CAKE! 

We picked up a doggy birthday cake at "The Lucky Dog Barkery"
(Made of peanut butter and rice crispies)

Beau ate his special treat while being serenaded by his family (what birthday is complete without singing Happy Birthday??)

And while he indulged, so did we! With some mini bundt cakes called "bundtinies" from "Nothing Bundt Cakes"--this might be the most delicious bakery in Dallas!

Treat after treat, the birthday boy was all tuckered out. 

He wore his party hat ALL night...even while he slept :)

This one was one for the books...

Though it was a little "Kardashian" of us as my father put it, it was honestly too fun to explain. Beau is such a joy in our home that it was only right to throw him a party. It was well deserved and well worth people calling us "crazy." 

I don't know when we turned into "those people" that threw birthday parties for their dog, but I sure am glad we did. Beau is too ;) 

Xx,

-Lo.   

p.s I got the job AND Katie got into SMU grad school. Look at us go... what a week!
