Elise Turns TWO!!

My baby girl turned two!! In honor of our happy Elise we tried to do everything she loved!

We opened presents

She was so thrilled to have toys just for her

She got a little toolbox from us and a car parking lot station and extra cars from the Mocklers and a Tonka Dump truck from the Teuschers. She loves to slide the cars down the ramps and cart things around in her dump truck!

We also purchased a scuut for her, I figured it would be a great start to learning to ride a real bike for her and Hadley. In hindsight buying it in the winter when I wasn't feeling well was not my best idea. It has basically been on the side of the house collecting dust. Elise is on the young side and just needs help while riding it. I am hoping both of them get the hang of it over the summer when we can take them to a parking lot and practice.

For dinner we had her favorite food - waffle fries!! She LOVES fries and the waffle cut ones are her favorite although she isn't picky. Her favorite combo is the chocolate milk and fries.

She has learned what all the signs look like for stores that have fries and begs for them even at 8:30 in the morning after driving by in n out after dropping Hadley off at school.

She literally shoves them in her mouth as fast as she can:)

We followed the fries with her birthday "cake". She doesn't like cake (and won't eat bread - a texture thing?) so I made her a chocolate chip cookie cake and decorated it with frosting, which she does like.

She was so excited she didn't even notice the only candle we had in the house was the one that had a "3" on it left over from Hadley's bday. We just drew a two on it with a marker!

My happy girl! We love her so very much and her smile and spunky, happy personality light up our home. We can't imagine life without our love bug!!
