Guess who's 2!

Well, even if Brylee cant quite figure out how to show it, she is in fact the lucky 2 year old. The tricky fingering will come later. This time around we decided to lay back, relax, and let the kids do all the planning. Why didnt we think of that sooner?

Alissa lending a hand in the decorating efforts. The cat really enjoyed the hanging pieces of crepe paper throughout the house. (:

Sometimes you need a little boost from your big sister! Interesting places for crepe paper, but hey...it is a 2 year old party.

Madi's idea.

On a side note: I didnt realize just how dusty the tops of the fan blades could get. I will be cleaning those more often...as dust particles dont act as good confetti.

Taking in all the planning. "For me!? You shouldnt have." Let the celebration start!

Brylee LOVES to color. The problem is, she doesnt limit it to just paper. The couch, walls, books, counter, table, and other completed works of art, have all had the signature of the great sprouting artist stamped on them. Solution: Color Wonder. One of the greatest inventions for children ever made! Now if we can just keep the caps on the markers, they might last long enough to get some good use out of them.

Princess Piggy bank. Yes, that means you have to start saving your money, and STOP eating it!

And what could this be??? Another one of her favorite things...

A book! "Oh, Im going to read it all right now! And then I'll read it again...and again...and again...and then Ill ask you to read it. And then again...and again..." It goes on. You get the idea. She LOVES books. This one in particular is about a duck that says "Tagwack" (Or quack in Brylee language.)

She also got a dress, but I wont show her lack of amusement about it.

Cake Time! It was all smiles until the candle got lit. Then she couldnt get far enough away from the flaming cake of death. Zack ended up blowing it out for her, which he was totally fine with. So nice of him.

Now that its all safe, she will return to partake in the deliciousness.

The party activities continue with some ball pit fun, singing, dancing, and of course...

jumping on the couch. Just look at that smile. Would you stop her?

A perfect ending before getting ready for bed. A good old 4 or 5 readings of Little Tagwack.

Happy Birthday our little Joy.
