Vivian's birthday was last Friday and I want to share what we did to celebrate. We sang the happy birthday song to her a lot that day, starting when we first went to get her out of bed. Aaron took her to breakfast with the guys at his work (they go every Friday anyway, but this time they let her join them). She had chocolate chip pancakes and my Dad brought her a cupcake so that she could blow out the candles and hear everyone sing to her again. She wore a birthday hat that Aaron made for her.



When she got back to the house, she talked to Mama Dot on the phone while I got Kate ready. We headed back out the door to go to Gramme's ribbon-cutting for Girl Scouts (a post about that is coming soon). We let K go home with Uncle Stephen and Gramme so that I could take V to the ZOO to meet Aaron.
We had fun at the zoo...it was a little disappointing because there weren't many animal species, but she didn't know any different so it was all very fascinating and fun for her. We made everything a big deal and overdramatized everything!


She napped at Gramme's while Uncle Stephen and I put together her birthday present...a play kitchen. She didn't actually get to play with it until Saturday, because as soon as she came home we had to get in the car and go to our small group meeting. She played with friends and had a great time there, staying out really late to make a fantastic finale to her 2nd birthday!
Whew! Long post, but it's worth it so that we will remember such a significant day in the life of our firstborn!
