Laura the Explorer turns 2

Although I haven't posted about it until now, Laura's birthday actually didn't get overrun by the graduation events of the weekend! We had grandparents here, an impromptu birthday lunch with friends in the courtyard, and we even managed to make a cake the night before (which admittedly, I haven't often done for the kids' birthdays...)
So here's some snaps from Friday when Laura turned 2!!
"Deez my stawberry jammies!"


Purses, dolls, fairy wings, a ballet tutu, what else could a girl need?

Daniel was a very proud big brother, helping carry the cake and starting the singing too! He even claimed that he made the cake - such an imagination...


Off to see the world!

And a couple video clips from the day:

#1 - trying to get Laura to say she's 2 on video is harder than it sounds...

#2 - if you can't hear what she is saying over and over, it's "i'm going to get some scissors", and then when I ask her what she got (the tutu), she says "dancing". She loved it all - the fairy wings even went on and stayed on!

She is so proud of herself! So the tutu and wand were a hit? I so wanted some sparkly shoes since I saw her eyeing Elise's once, but they of course were no where to be found when I went looking. Bummer!

I still can't believe she's 2 - so fun to have watched her change from 3 months till now.

I wish I could eat cake like that and get away with it!

Wow, where does time go! Laura is two?! It seems like just the other month that we were on the OA trip and she was Gabriel's age and I was impressed that you all came with such a small infant!
She is just the cutest little girl, talking and all...it has been fun to keep up from the blog since we all left when she turned one. :)
