I know it sounds cliche, but I really can't believe my little baby is already 2! In some ways it feels like she's been two for awhile. I mean the girl is potty-trained, speaks in complete sentences, and is pretty tall. Our toughest obstacle was trying to convince her it was her birthday. She kept saying, "No, happy to Gabby." And then, "No, happy to Taren." But we finally convinced her, and she was ecstatic.
I made her some special "2" birthday pancakes on Friday, and Steve took the day off to celebrate with us.
We went to the rec center pool for the girls' favorite - swimming! They both even went down the slide this time.
Then it was home for naps and re-energize for a night of Chuck E. Cheese. We'd never taken the girls there before (I know...crazy), but they absolutely loved it!
Their favorite ride - the school bus
Enjoying some yummy pizza
She was pretty excited to meet the man himself. (I know the expression doesn't capture excitement)
Then we came home for our family celebration of cake and presents. Of course we had to have doughnuts in this family!
Afterwards
Present time!
And the celebrations weren't over, because Sunday we had the family party. The girls loved seeing everyone and celebrating together. Makenzie even wrote and serenaded Chandler a birthday song - it was cute.
Chandler's hot dog cake! I couldn't decide what to make her, so we decided to ask her, and of course she said, "Hot dog cake!" I couldn't resist, and she loved it!
Time to dig in
