Happy Birthday

Well, we had Leah’s 2nd birthday party a month late - which is a bit of a trend. We were all sick with the flu on her actual birthday and then half the guest list was in Australia and then we went down to the bootheel (more on that later).

Leah did share a birthday cake with her great-grandma while we were in Bernie (since Leah’s birthday was in the 11th and Grandma’s was on the 15th). My cousin Darri was scandalized that she hadn’t had a party/any cake yet and bought it for us - and then we proceeded to eat an entire cake over the few days we were visiting!

This cake had a baby shark!

Amelie and I baked a cake on Thursday and then she and James and I decorated it on Friday before the party. They made the seaweed and marine creatures out of airheads (and supplemented with Swedish fish). There was some bickering about the placement of the baby shark decorations on this cake.

The kids (mostly the cousins) dyed Easter eggs for an activity.

Leah is two!

Opening presents with Grandma Mary and Aunt Holly. Leah got a book, a new swimsuit, a baby doll, and a stuffed puppy dog - plus new sand for the sandbox.

Aunt Lana gave her this sweet outfit.

There was one outfit change after cake and ice cream.
