She's 2!
She wore the helmet and tried out the trike. She opened her other gifts from us. While she opened each gift she continually said, what is it?, over and over. So stinkin' cute. She said, thank you, to us all on her own. I was so proud of that. She played with her new toys and asked me to put in her new Tinkerbell DVD.
We had munchkins for breakfast. We headed out to swim class which she LOVES.
After swim class we headed to lunch. She had her favorite. Grilled cheese and french fries. Once lunch was done Anya napped in the car while we drove her to the zoo. When she woke up we told her that we were going to see monkeys, giraffes, etc. She was thrilled at this idea and repeated, monkeys, yay!!, over and over ;) The zoo was perfect. We had amazing weather and she walked most of the day. We had to con her into sitting in the stroller a couple times to take a rest. She was really into seeing the animals this time. Not only did she get to see monkeys, tortoises, deer, flamingos, giraffes, etc... but she rode her first pony!!!!!!
On our way home we stopped for ice cream BEFORE dinner. She loved it :) The best part is that she still ate her dinner. She had worked up an appetite, that is for sure!
I still can't believe we have a two year old. She is an amazing kid. We love her easy going, funny, loving personality. There will be so many more fun memories in the next year. We love you so much, Anya Elizabeth!!!

streamers, cake, balloons and presents
She got so many nice things.I love this picture. The girls sat and watched her open gifts. Look at Anya's feet crossed.
Uncle Marty and Anya enjoying a cold one.
Dwight got to do some fishing before and after the party. We stayed later and relaxed on the deck too.
She had so much fun and was pooped at the end of the day. The car was packed to the roof with gifts. What a lucky girl. We are certainly lucky to have her in our life.
