Eliana's Birthday

I think Eliana really enjoyed her birthday.  I'm sure she didn't really understand why we were doing what we were doing but I know she enjoyed the singing, candles and all the presents.  We started her day by going in and singing to her and letting her open her present from us.  I had decorated the apartment a little bit the night before with some streamers, Curious George balloons and a banner and she was totally excited about the balloons.  She wanted me to get them down and let her play with them right away.  We then had breakfast and let her blow out candles, which she loved.  Then throughout the day we called all our family members and let her open the gifts they had sent.  She had a lot of fun opening the gifts and had good reactions that everyone could see even over the computer so we were thankful for that.  After dinner we let her have a cookie bar and blow out candles again.  It's pretty easy to please a 2-year-old!

Here are some pictures of our day and a few videos at the bottom.  More to come after her party and an official 2-year update as well!


Yes, our two-year-old still sits in a Bumbo.  It's our best option for our table and since she's a tiny one it works!  :-)


Cheese!


I'm two!

Blowing ever so carefully


How did you blow out the candles Eliana?


Just had to show off Aunt Liv's baby diapers!  So cute!
