2 Year’s Old!

We started out Boo’s birthday at 7:30 a.m. with a rousing chorus of Happy Birthday and a balloon that is as big as she is. :)

Daddy had to go to work and K had to go to preschool so Boo and I had her favorite breakfast…”beagles” of course.  And then our friend Miss B brought her a birthday donut so she got to eat again. :)

Daddy took off about 11:30 and we all headed to town for lunch of the birthday girl’s choice, “donals”.

Noni met us there.

And what more fitting birthday fun than to find out that you can FINALLY climb to the top of the playset!  She usually just climbs up the first platform and sits there until Bug comes back down the slide…it’s rather sad actually.  But on Friday we discovered that she is now tall enough to make it all the way up!  Bug helped her navigate the tunnels and she went up, through, and down the slide over and over.

After lunch the birthday girl went with Noni to take a nap and we took Bug to the mall to pick out a birthday present. 

We met up later with Noni, Papa, Mama, Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie Nae, and Waylon and headed to the activity center.

I had ordered this cake from the little bakery here in town and it turned out so cute!  Boo was SO excited to eat her “pincess cake” that she couldn’t even eat her dinner.  It was pretty spectacular.  The top was white with raspberry filling and the bottom was red velvet (four layers each!)!

It must have looked too good to wait so she managed to swipe some frosting. :)

We let the kids play on the playground and inflateables for a while before eating.

Then we made them sit down and attempt to eat pizza before cake.  It didn’t go over so well but at least we tried. :)

“Happy Birthday to you….”

She didn’t want to blow out the candle so Daddy and Bug helped out.

Yum.  Dee-licious!

Then it was on to presents.  She got so many fun things!

Noni and Papa bough this adorable swimsuit and hat.  I can’t wait to see it on her this summer!

Here’s the soon to be birthday boy (wearing a very masculine Ariel crown, haha)!  I can’t believe these babies are already two years old!

Grandma and Grandpa found an Aurora dress (one of the only ones we don’t have)!

Uncle Sean sent this adorable “Affa pig!!!” toy.  I didn’t even know they made these, but he found it after he discovered that Super Why is her favorite show.  She LOVED it!  She said, “I yike it!  I hug affa pig!”

Aunt Wendy bought her a princess shirt, tights, and princess tennis shoes.  She loves them so much she wouldn’t wear her church shoes this morning.  She insisted on “pincess soos” with her dress and tights. :)

Pawpaw and Nana and Grandma V and Grandpa J all gave her birthday money so we’ll have to take her to the store and let her pick something out.

Noni and Papa also bought her an kid-sized overstuffed chair and ottoman to go in her new big girl room.

Mama bought her purple polka dot sheets for her new room.

We bought her a quilt from Pottery Barn that I have been eyeing for the past year.

Auntie Nae made her an adorable yellow apron with a blue flower.  I will have to get a picture of her in it.  It’s so cute!

Uncle B and Auntie M got her a kitchen/food set.

Aunt J and family got her purple polka dot curtains and curtain rod for her new room.

And Aunt Karen bought her a adorable green lamp.

I can’t wait to finish the upstairs and put all her new things in her big girl room!

After the presents we did some more bouncing and sliding.

This little section was actually pretty hard to climb up but they did it over and over again.  Every time Boo would grunt and whisper “climb, climb, climb…” all the way up it.

We finished the night with a little bowling.  Victory dance!

What a wonderful birthday for a big two year old!  She had a blast!

Thanks for the wonderful presents everyone!  I’ll be sure to post lots of pictures when we can get her new room all set up!
