It all started the Saturday before April's birthday....with a visit from Aunt Chelle! She was into blowing out the candle (her eyes are closed!) and she managed to get it on the 3rd try!
But she didn't have to try hard to eat the cupcake ;)
LOVED her gifts from Aunt Chelle & the one that was delivered from Uncle Bill, Aunt Laura, and Connor (you'll see it in a few more pictures)....
This is April's reaction to the crepe-paper-streamers and balloons that were decorating the dining room on her birthday morning:
she enjoyed spaghetti for dinner, and a birthday crown that she got from the Librarian after the class in the afternoon....
The spaghetti was enjoyed so much that she got a quick bath & changed into her new dress from the Hoffmans to open her presents from Mommy and Daddy.
New sandals:
New book:
And a new 'Little People' playground:
The next day Kevin's parents, brother, and sister-in-law joined us for the party-day on Saturday. Uncle Mark and Aunt JungMin threw some balloons around for a good photo opt:
We put the birthday girl up on the couch and this is how she sat for the picture :) Flexible girl!
The weather was so nice that we had an outdoor lunch - here is the birthday girl eating :)
More cupcakes!
Then it was time for presents -- Thumper has been a big hit :)
Golf clubs!
Bubble mower!
We finished off Saturday with a trip to the park. This 2 year old is FEARLESS on the slides....
on the swings....
and even on the monkey bars! She hung there all by herself for several seconds :)
We had a wonderful time celebrating this little girl. Full of laughs, this talkative child is also kind and a compassionate friend. Looking forward to seeing how big she is at her dr's appointment this week - hard to believe we were ever worried that she was "too small" :) Love you April!!
