A Happy 2nd Birthday...

Saturday, September 5th we had a family cookout up at Amicalola Falls State Park. Max & Ruby were the main decor, even though you can't buy any of their stuff in the US (except videos). So, Mommy worked some magic with the overhead projector at school and made some large cut outs for decoration. I also made a cake that featured Max and Ruby's house.

We cooked out, watched Lily open presents and had cake. Lily got in the creek afterwards which she really enjoyed even though it was extremely cold water.

She seemed to finally "get" present opening this year. Although, she drove Daddy crazy by tearing off teeny bits at a time. :) She oooo'd and ahhhh'd over the tissue paper and the final reveal of the gifts. That was pretty funny.

Her favorite gift this year seems to be the Fisher Price pretend camera that Hannah and Jimmy got her. She stopped after each gift to "take a picture" of the item. :)

Sunday we went to Toys R Us to pick up some furniture for the My First Dollhouse. We also ended up getting an expansion pack for her Thomas The Train set. That stuff NEVER goes on sale so we took advantage of the surprising find.

Today, her actual birthday, has been pretty low key. We took her out to lunch where she ended the meal by petting a lobster (after much coaxing). Other than that, not much has been going on. Just lots of playing with her new toys and scooting around on her giant ladybug.

All of the pictures that I have so far are in Album 2. Jimmy took a bunch and when I get them I will post them as well.

There is another kid who comes into the picture but I kept recording to watch Lily's reaction. :)
