Alayna's 2nd Birthday Party

Feb 12, 2011 was the big day for my 2nd Birthday Party. It was so fun! My family came to make it really fun and special for me - I'm so glad they could all come. My Great Grandparents couldn't make it this time b/c they weren't feeling up to it and some live too far away, but hopefully we will see them soon. I woke up from my nap, right as the guests were starting to arrive. I wasn't really my normal chatty self - I was more reserved and wanted only certain people to hold and talk to me. Mommy thought it was a bit strange.

Here I am waiting in my chair to open presents. This was a lot of fun! I now "get it" and it's like to do this!
Mommy, Daddy, Grant and me

Thanks for your help Daddy

The purse cake Mommy made for me. When she asked me what kind of party I wanted while we were at the party store - I said a very grumpy "no" to each suggestion. Then she mentioned pink and purple - I liked that. So going with pink and purple - Mommy added in the purse theme - I am quite a fan of them you know.

With my cake

Blow 'em out

Grant gets a turn too

Mmmmmm...cake with mint chocolate chip ice cream

And this is me rockin' like Papa on his guitar. I borrowed Grant's, but Papa did bring his to sing Happy Birthday to me. Thanks Papa!

I received lots of great gifts and had a lot of fun playing with my cousins. Thanks everyone!

Mommy got me this outfit for my party. She thought it was really cute. I like the shirt - it's the number 2 with my name on it! BUT - I'm not such a fan of that tutu skirt! But hey - I got a whole pack of skittles (snack size) to wear it - so I guess it wasn't all bad. :)
