Our little girl turned two on Friday--my how time flies. We had a great weekend filled with celebrating this little one that we love so much!

Friday evening, we had a small family party to celebrate her actual Birthday.
She went for the tall box first, which contained her scooter. This led to a major meltdown when tried to get her to open the other gifts or eat cake. The only thing she wanted was "SCOOTER, SCOOTER!"
We eventually were able to get her to forget the scooter for a bit and enjoy some cake. I was able to give the sandcastle decorating a test run with a few cupcakes before the actual party on Sunday.

Sandcastle cupcakes!
|
 |
| She had no problems blowing out her candles. |
 |
| Make a wish! |
 |
| After cake she was ready to take a peek in the rest of the packages |
 |
| Ohh!! |
 |
| Loved her new dolly! |
 |
| Didn't want to put down her legos! |
We enjoyed lots of outside time trying out the new scooter and showing our skills. It didn't take her long to get the hang of the scooter. She'll be zipping around the block in short order!

| Time for the bike! |
 |
| She wanted to zip down the hill rather than ride around the cul-de-sac! |
Sun afternoon we had a small party with a few friends and cousins. We celebrated with a luau themed beach party. She had a great time and loved her cake!

| Wow, I love sandcastles! |
 |
| Super happy to pose with her cake! |
 |
| Momma and her girls! |

| Oh no! Don't lick the cake! We stopped her just in time! |

We had great fun and it was so much fun to have friends and family help us celebrate her big day! I can't believe she's Two!!
