birthday shindig

Yesterday we had our parents and a few best friends over to celebrate Anya's birthday. We were so happy that it didn't rain although it was cloudy and cool.
I made Anya these Elmo and Cookie Monster cupcakes..




Here is our 2 year old. :-) She was thrilled to wake up from nap to a home filled with her favorite people.




Madelyn, Billy and Ella..



Tickles for grampy!
She loves frosting!






She received many wonderful gifts. She loved the big box that a play bus/slide came in..






It was a fun filled weekend with lots of celebration of our little girl.

She's 2!

I couldn't wait for Anya to see her new tricycle this morning. We were only halfway downstairs and she started calling out, bike bike!, once her eyes spotted it. We got her one that has a removable handle so that we can push her on it until she really gets the whole idea of pedaling.


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

Birthday parties rule. It's a day of celebrating the life of someone with food, cake, songs and gifts. To celebrate our special little girl's first year of life was amazing. I had fun doing the whole thing...
Thank you to everyone that came and loves Anya so dearly. The place was packed with many wonderful people.

Here are pics from yesterday...
I made all of the cupcakes and her first birthday cake.

The birthday girl!

blowing out the candle
this feels funny
She was hysterical with the cake. She would feel it and then clap and say yay! She loved all of the attention.
She loves her new chair from her aunt and uncle. She sat in it while she opened every gift with my help.

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.
