Birthday #1, 2010
Birthday #2, 2011
My sweet not-so-baby girl turned 2 yesterday, and we had a sort of low-key celebration with family. All my siblings were there, along with my parents, and my two grandmas, and then Hubby's parents Skyped in. The theme, as you will see from these pictures, was monkeys. She woke up in some cute monkey pyjamas, and I made her a birthday banner...
...as well as the monkey hat...
...and a monkey cake: banana, with chocolate icing! (I stopped just short of making monkey bread, so as to keep my sanity intact.)
Our dinner didn't follow the same theme; we had a meal that lent itself well to a big family meal, and happened to include many of D's favourites. BBQ pork tenderloin, roast potatoes, and corn, with buns and Greek salad for those of us with larger tummies. There was plenty to eat, and we still have some nice leftovers for today's lunch.
The birthday girl was very pleased with the proceedings, even though her repeated request "shall we watch a movie" was declined. She was genuinely delighted with her guests and the gifts they brought her, and was much tidier with her cake than last year, not that it matters. She also managed to blow out both her candles!
Aww Happy Belated Birthday, Baby D!
