Eliana turned 2!!

August 27, 2009. My baby turned 2!! Crazy, it seems like just the other day that my Eliana came into this world. What fun the last 2 years have been. It has been so wonderful to watch this little baby, that is just bursting with life, grow up into a beautiful little girl.
We had a nice quiet birthday morning. Well, at least it was sort of quiet until the girls each had a bowl full of lucky charms for breakfast (I don't usually let my girls have sugar cereal for breakfast, but as tradition from my family, we get to pick what our breakfast is on birthdays). After being overloaded with sugar(at least General Mills has whole grain cereal, so it can't be that bad, right...), I decided to let the girls burn off the birthday treat.
I love having our own little park in the back yard.

Elli had lots of fun opening all of her presents, and got all kinds of fun stuff!
 
As soon as Elli saw her new clothes, she started stripping down so she could try on all her new threads. She changes at least 5 or more times a day. *sigh*
 
Watch how fast she blows out the candles. It was hillarious to watch, and she needed no prompting what-so-ever. Pretty amazing for a 2 year old. But then again, she is a pretty amazing girl! Grandma made fresh carrot cake cupcakes(with carrots from my garden!) and it was YUMMY!



Our happy little family :)

Cute, cute, cute! I love how she claps when the birthday song ends! What a fun birthday. Your girls are as much girl as mine are boy! I love to read your blog, and we finally are back up online!! We moved to the Anchorage area and have been 'unplugged' for over a month! *ugh* Happy Belated Birthday Elli!
