"I'm TWO!!!!!"

We've been prepping Lily for this day for a few weeks now, and she says it with gusto! "I'm TWO!!!!"




Well, with two-year-old gusto.... Which is usually accompanied by a healthy dose of attitude...

Happy birthday to our Lily Bug!

We had a "Kicky-Mouse" party in Logan last weekend with her cousins.



Yes, we were supposed to have a swimming party, but it was raining! Plan B was Nanny & Papa's family room!





I think it turned out pretty festive anyway!

We had all the typical party ingredients:

Temporary tattoos...
Lots of dancing...
Pin the Bow on Minnie...
Ice cream cone cuppy-cakes that TOTALLY didn't work...
A gumball machine that the kiddos couldn't keep their hands off of...
Oh yeah, and a meltdown as we sang "Happy Birthday..."
Yeah, it was a first-class meltdown...


All in all though - the party was so fun, and most importantly, I think the kids all had a GREAT time!

Today is her actual birthday, and to celebrate, we got to go to Lagoon for my company summer party.


Lily had fun on a few rides with her daddy...

But struggled a little when sailing solo.... (Well, kinda solo - Noah is a GREAT ride buddy!)

Tess was pretty happy chilling in the stroller...

Till she totally crashed out...

Oh, and we did make up for the cake disaster tonight....
You'd think she would have put down the cell phone for the picture? Oh dear - stay tuned for the teenage years...

Happy birthday buggie! We love you!

I can't believe that little Lily is 2!! She looks so grown up! You do such a great job of keeping your girls looking so cute. I think I am hoping for all boys, then I don't have to fail at making my girls "cute"!:)

So cute! And I love the documenting of the meltdowns... they make me feel like maybe our family's normal with all the tantrums, whining, etc. :) Happy Birthday, Lily!

I can't believe she's two! I tried those ice cream cone cupcakes a month or two ago for the first time and they turned out much worse than yours. My mom used to make them for everything, how did she do it?

Happy Birthday! I have a video of my son having the classic tantrum at his birthday party too! It's fun to read your blog.

I can't believe Lily girl had the nerve to have a birthday while I was out of town. :)
Those are two of the cutest girls I've ever seen!
