We started the morning with chocolate chip heart pancakes and did the usual birthday pancake with candles. I let Westin have a turn to and started singing the birthday song to him. He quickly stopped me, reminded me that it was Jade's birthday, and then he sang, "Happy birthday to Jadey, happy birthday to Jadey..."
After Wes got home from work we went to Bounce U. Fortunately we've been able to get cheap passes through Groupon and Living Social, so instead of it being $7 a child it is $3. Jade was free before she turned 2, so that was awesome...$3 for 2 kids! Anyway, they love this place and Wes and I tend to end up having a good time too.
This climbing wall is between 2 giant slides (2 stories tall). Westin climbs it pretty easily, and this time Jade made it up pretty much all by herself.
. The kids get a little scared on the slide and sometimes sit facing us, on our laps. You have to catch yourself at the bottom, because you get going to fast.
This is Westin buried in his "worm hole." Below, he is emerging from his "worm hole."
When we got home, we had dinner, baths, and then we had the purple cupcakes that we made earlier in the day. Jade liked licking the frosting. 
Then a few presents. Wes and I like to take advantage of the fact that they are so young and unaware of all that a birthday can entail. A friend of mine found the princess tent and accessories on clearance (75% off), hoping one of her friends with a little girl could use it. The timing was perfect. Jade got some money from grandparents and Auntie Lairen, and some cute dresses from Auntie Whitny. She did get to use some of her grandparents' birthday money for some jewelry to go with her princess stuff. 
We had an extra police car that we had bought Westin for Christmas, but decided not to give to him. He got to open it after Jade opened her presents.
Jade was so cute admiring herself in the mirror, while brushing her teeth. I guess this was the first time she's had real dress up stuff and not just my shoes and Westin's hero cape.

So glad you guys had a good day celebrating! Love all the pictures and can't believe how much they've grown in just a couple months. AND...Jade's piggy tails are adorable!!!!
She looks adorable and it looks like a really fun day. Good work, and way to not stress about the presents. I totally agree although I kind of like any excuse to buy my kids stuff. Water colors for St. Patty's day...
