Annmarie's 2nd Birthday!

by Annmarie

I turned two on Friday and it was pretty awesome. Mom stayed home from work and spent the day with me and my runny nose. Mom made these cupcakes for me, but I had to wait all day to have one.

We hung out and played.
And when Dad got home from work we opened some presents.

Grandma and Papa got me this neat number puzzle and a santa hat.
Dad got me this bus. Man do I love buses. We never really ride them, but I see them all the time driving around the city and like to point them out.
My buddy Colin got me this cool cat.
I received some other nice things from family and friends. Thanks guys! Mom is helping me with the thank you notes, but she's pretty busy, I'll try to remind her to get those done.

Finally after dinner I was able to have my cupcake and ice cream. But Mom did something so crazy and almost ruined my cupcake.

Seriously, why would you add fire to my cupcake.

I mean all I wanted was my cupcake and ice cream. That's it. I'd been waiting all day for this moment.

Once the fire was out, I was fine.

I love ice cream. But really, who doesn't?
That's pretty much it for Friday, but I'm not done yet.

On Saturday I woke up and there was more fun to be had.

I got to wear my new t-shirt that Mom got for me. I really like the number two, so thought the shirt was pretty cool. And you really can't tell from this picture, but I'm modeling some new brown boots that Mom got for me.

I played with my bus. And I still had a pretty good runny nose.
And then Nana, Uncle Jon and Andrea came over for brunch.
Mom made a strata, pototoes and berries.
I wanted all my new bus buddies at the table.
I got to open more presents. And I gotta tell you opening presents is pretty darn fun.
Uncle Jon got me some Play-doh. Way cool.
Fun. Fun. Fun.
Cute shirt. I like the colors.
Then I got this very cool frog hat, but I had Andrea try it on first.
Ok, what do you think? Is it me?
Then I got to open this big box from Nana.
A doll house! My two favorite things about his house by far are the potty and the door bell. And who knew Uncle Jon was so good at playing doll house.
Mom told me I could have another cupcake and ice cream. But she tried to ruin it, AGAIN! Why? Why would she do this to me?

Fire and cupcakes are not a good thing.

Ok, it's out and I'm feeling a little better.
Now just let me enjoy my cupcake.
Hmmmmmmmmm.
It's all good now.
So, that's what we did for my birthday. I liked it. No big party this year and I was ok with that. I got so many nice things and Mom and Dad let me have ice cream and cake two days in a row!
