Happy 2nd Birthday!

So the Little Miss was lucky enough to have two birthday celebrations this year!  Since Addie's birthday is on November 28th, she is always going to be competing with Thanksgiving.  We first celebrated at the Muckenhirn's and Addie was pretty excited about her ice cream cake, which ended up creating a little mess on the table cloth, but that is what two year olds do, especially ones that enjoy sweets as much as this one!

Out of all the nice presents that Addie got for her birthday, she probably had the most fun learning how to blow the party favors, once she figured this out, she was all about showing off her new skills!  Although she was pretty rough on them, most of them ended up with chewed off ends, which of course means that she was able to ensure she got all of them to herself!


The next celebration was at Nana's house with Auntie and Jade.  We stuck with the traditional birthday meal - pizza!  Although we probably get more excited about pizza than Addie does, she would have been just as happy with "Ogurt," which she requests for every meal, every single time we ask her what she wants to eat!

Since the first piggy bank that Addie received from Nana on her 1st birthday ended up broken into multiple pieces on the floor, a perfect 2nd birthday gift was another piggy bank - but this one is indestructable, even for Hurricane Addie!

She struggled a bit with the quarters as the piggy bank is one that keeps track of the money, as it needs to be able to read each coin that is put in, and the quarters usually need a little extra strength.

Mike likes to call this Addie's "I-pod" as it had a little radio type thing attached to the book that she likes to carry around and put up to her ear like a cell phone and listen to all the fun songs.  Her favorite being "Twinkle."

She was pretty proud of her big girl cake, and was actually able to enjoy it this year (she was really sick last year and did not have the true "first cake" experience, but she has made up for it this year!)

Diving into the cake and ice cream and picking the little sugar dots off of the frosting (fun for kids, not so much for adults).  Addie had a wonderful 2nd birthday, and thanks to everyone who made it special!!
