Waffles with Strawberries and Whip Cream for Breakfast. She thought the candles were a nice addition, still not quite sure about blowing them out.
We hurried along with breakfast so we could make it to the zoo.
Justin took the day off work so we could be together as a family.
I did a tiny bit of decorating to make the day a little more special. She appreciated the banner.
We packed our lunch and took it in with us. We paused by the elephants to eat. She was packing around this apple and all I could think was,
"I hope she doesn't drop it because she will still want to eat it."
Well, I held it for her for a minute, and I dropped it. Yep, she still wanted it, but don't worry we threw it away. Clumsy mama...
What to do for a two year old's birthday? I thought the zoo would be a nice outing since we had not been there in a year. Well, she did alright, but really wasn't overly enthused at it. Justin and I both got bored about 30 minutes into it. We were happy when we made it around the map.
She did enjoy staring at this big kitty across the glass. I thought it was rather creepy.
After the Zoo we came home for a nap for the Birthday girl and food preparations for the parents.
I have never been a very good cake decorator, but was pleased with my work here. Not perfect I know, but for me they were pretty. Those are Mickey Mouse stand ups in the center. She LOVES Mickey and Frozen right now.
We had our good friends Garrett and Nicole, and Rick over for dinner that night. I didn't invite any of Natalie's friends because I feel like friend birthday parties for two year olds are hard. Our company was perfect for the circumstances and Natalie had a blast. We had hamburgers, french fries and fruit salad for dinner. Then presents, playing and cupcakes.
We got her a baby doll for her birthday, and two of our friends did as well. Each is a little different and she plays with all of them. One can take a bath, one can drink a bottle, and one is little enough to pack in most places. She is a good momma to them and will be a great big sister.
Grandma Blazzard got her those darling pink John Deere Cowboy boots. She loves them!
This picture pretty much sums up her party and interests in life right now. Princess and Frozen gear, baby dolls, and chocolate cake!
This little red head has so much life and love in her. She is smart, loves books, is fairly obedient, loves her family, Jesus Christ, watching youtube videos, playing with other kids, driving the car, and playing chase. We continue to learn from her every day and I am so grateful she made me a momma. Happy Birthday Ms. Natalie. I look forward to celebrating many more with you!
