So, Laney is definitely a go-and-do, hang out with lots of people, be the center of attention kind of girl… like her Daddy! Audrey, on the other hand, is happiest hanging out at home, playing outside. So, for her birthday, that’s what we did! We’d just had people over for Josh’s birthday the weekend before, so we decided to keep it simple for Miss A’s party, and she didn’t seem to mind!
We let her pick the food, of course, and she picked hot dogs, of course. I came to the realization that 3 of the 4 members of our family see hot dogs as a totally viable birthday dinner choice. Seriously, they can have anything in the world, and they pick HOT DOGS! Oh well, at least it’s simple! We loaded up with some of her other favorite foods, like strawberries and french fries. And we picked up some corn on the cob, which she’d never tried before. Anyway, it was pretty delicious, even if it was just hot dogs! The best part for Audrey was she got to play outside while Josh was grilling, and she’d pretty much rather be outside than anywhere else in the world!
Miss A, digging into her birthday dinner on the special plate!
She hadn’t ever had corn on the cob before… but she jumped right in!
Audrey picked a funfetti cake with sprinkles, and I actually got a little creative and wrote her name on it… and we broke out the birthday hat from Laney’s first birthday!
A was pretty funny while we were singing… it was like she wasn’t used to being the center of attention!
Helping (or, mostly watching) Daddy blow out her candles!
Miss A definitely did get what opening presents was about, though! She was quite excited about the giant box…
…and even more excited when she saw what was in it! A Sleeping Beauty toddler doll and dress up dress. Audrey LOVES dressing up, and dolls, so we thought it was perfect!
Unfortunately, someone else thought it was perfect… Miss E is not used to sharing the spotlight, and she really wanted that same doll/dress combo, so she MELTED DOWN when Audrey opened it…
Sad, and kinda funny at the same time… it’s a hard lesson to learn, but gotta learn it sometime!
And, let’s be honest, Audrey has the attention span of, well, of a 2 year old, so a couple of hours later, Laney looked like this:
So, there it is, a fun day to celebrate Miss A! And, in the interest of more celebration, here are two totally random shots from the last week or so… just hilarious, and great blackmail material! :)
She loves the bath, and has the perfect amount of hair for shampoo sculptures!
As for this one… well, there really are no words…
