Leah's Second Birthday Party

Today was the day Leah has been waiting for! Weeks ago, I ordered her Elmo birthday cake. Then we took a trip to get Elmo balloons, decorations and party bag treats. She has been talking about her Elmo birthday all week long, and finally, the day was here!

Despite rainy weather, we had a house full of friends and family, and it was so wonderful to be surrounded by love and laughter.
Here's me and the birthday girl!

Chatting with baby Clara

Leah's Elmo cake and hats! She wanted everyone else to wear one, but refused to wear one herself.

Our family

Does she look excited? :)

An Elmo phone! Just what I always wanted! Thanks Will!

A shopping cart from Drake and Clara

Her big present from us...a new tricycle!

All the kids at the party!

She ate some cake this year!

Twirling in her new tutu from Aunt Hayley...it's awesome!

Having a very grown-up-looking conversation with Molly and Navi

After the last guests left, and before we could put the cake away, Leah climbed up on a chair and nabbed a pinch of blue icing. Here's what happens if you eat straight-up blue icing!

It was a fantastic afternoon of birthday fun! Leah was so much more into the celebration this year, and that made it even more fun for us! Happy birthday to you, Leah!
