Carys turned two at the beginning of the month. We didn't have a big party for her this year, but we did have a lot of fun celebrating with family the past few weekends. Grandma Alice, Grandpa Tom, Uncle Hoon and Brooke were all in town the weekend before her birthday for a family wedding, so of course we squeezed in a little party for Carys on Friday night.
Checking out her "cookie monster"!
After licking off the frosting on top and scooping out most of the frosting in the middle she asked for "nother one?" So, I think she liked it!
Present time!
Carys loved Baby Stella and her paci!
And Baby Stella looks even cuter in her "love bug" outfit!
Our gift to Carys was a play kitchen, so Gma & Gpa got her some food to stock the fridge!
And of course, what's a party without cheesy party favors!
Uncle Hoon couldn't be with us on Friday night because he had Best Man activities to attend, but thankfully Brooke was with us and able to send David lots of pictures to keep him updated!
Then before we left for the wedding on Saturday, we opened more presents this time with Uncle Hoon!
Checking out her Poison Spider "future cyclist" t-shirt!
Checking out her new tent!
On her actual birthday we celebrated with just the three of us, and then Grandma Judy stopped by to share in the fun and drop off some super cute presents.
Making cookies!
I can't believe how quickly the past two years have flown by. Obviously we've had our challenges here and there, but having Carys in our life has brought us more joy than we ever could have imagined. She has been learning so much lately, and is constantly impressing us with her vocabulary and the things she remembers. Of course, she is constantly cracking us up with the things she says and does too. It's never a dull moment with her and I really wouldn't want it any other way!
Happy Birthday Bug! Mommy and Daddy love you SO much!
