Birthday Celebration

Rocking Moose

Play food (mostly from the One Spot at Target, but a few good wooden pieces of food by Haba): this was definitely one of the bigger hits.

Recognizing Lowly Worm on the back of the Best ABC Video Ever!—she really enjoyed watching this one later on in the day!

The tea set was another big hit.

Pouring some tea.

"mmmmm!"

Getting the hang of opening the gifts.

She loves the carousel (interestingly, I caught Craig playing with it a lot, too).

Anna & Craig have had a ton of fun already drawing on the chalkboard side of her new art easel.

Those legs need to grow just a little longer to reach the pedals but she loves the bike all the same.

Target One Spot toaster: note the toast is in mid-air.

Toast jumping out of a toaster is hilarious!

Cleaning up after the party.

Tres Leches cake.

Anna wasn't entirely sure why her cake had a fire on it; this is a face she makes a lot lately.

The birthday kids. Anna just reached into the cake and grabbed some frosting while Craig blew out the candle.

Yum!

We celebrated Anna & Craig's birthdays today since Craig will be out of town for the actual days. Up until this point, whenever I would ask Anna how old she is she would not answer. Now she says "I'm two!"

I've posted a ton of photos for our families who couldn't be here to celebrate, we missed having you around this year! We started out with pancakes for breakfast and then opened presents. We played with the new toys all morning, stopping for a swim-break just before lunch. After Anna's "nap" we had cake (will post the recipe to the recipe blog after a bit) and then went to Johnny Rockets for the birthday dinner (Craig's choice & one of Anna's favorites). Overall, it was a pretty fun birthday for Anna and I think Craig liked the cake the best of the three of us.
