Coastal Confessions: The Birthday Weekend (a little late)

I can't believe our baby turned two on March 21! It seems just yesterday we brought her home. I have so greatly enjoyed the last two years caring for, loving and getting to know my sweet girl. She brightens every day our lives. I am amazed at how much she makes me laugh with her silly games and funny conversation. Her language skills are wonderful and it's such a joy to teach her new things everyday.

For her special day we had a lot planned. It started with breakfast at Deboers with Granny and Boppie followed by some play time at their house while we had a Dr appointment for our expected baby girl. We had cupcakes, sang happy birthday and opened presents with them before we came home for lunch and a nap.

The birthday evening was dinner out at Applebee's with my Aunt Deb and cousin Sarah who came all the way from Bay City to help up celebrate. After dinner we did cake and presents just the three of us. It was special as it was her last birthday as an only child!

Saturday morning we took her to the hotel with my aunt and cousin to go swimming. She wanted no part of the pool and it was short lived. We came back to our house for presents and play time before they had to head back across the state. In the afternoon we planned on taking her to see a dinosaur exhibit but the wait was too long, so instead we went to the zoo. It was chilly but we bundled up to see penguins, monkey's, a mountain lion and lots of other animals. The three of us had such a good time and it was the highlight of the weekend.
