Second Birthday Celebration...

I celebrated my second birthday today!!! My actual birthday isn't for a few more weeks but my parents thought there is no better time to celebrate than now.
The party theme was Shrek and everyone including the dogs wore ogre ears. We even had Shrek bowling and an awesome Shrek cake...yummy!
Last year we had a birthday bash, but this year we decided to keep it simple and just invite immediate family. My aunt Holly and cousin Loren drove from Rocklin, CA, and my papa, grandma Karen and Bailey came up from Palm Springs, CA to help me celebrate the day. Even my 88 year old great grandma LaVerne made it. I don't get to see her often.
I had a great time but was a little shy anytime all eyes were on me. I got some very fun gifts including blocks (love, love, love the blocks), a baby Shrek doll, tricycle, a donkey doll from the movie Shrek, lots of books, puzzles, a pirate ship, clothes, and even an actual set of golf clubs with golf bag...yes, they make them that small...scary! These were quickly sent back to grandma and grandpa's house. Why, I'm not sure, but the dogs, TV and my parents breathed a collective sigh of relief.
I had a lot of fun chasing Hannah and Jake around the house. I love playing with older kids. The rest of the night I kept asking where Hannah and Jake went.
My papa, Karen and Bailey stayed till Monday night. It was great to visit with them and I now refer to Bailey, whom I'm quite smitten with, as Bailey Bo...oh sigh, the older woman.
Thanks to everyone who made my day special. Can you believe I'm actually two???
