A good time was had by all

We celebrated Anne's second birthday Saturday with a party at our house. One of Anne's favorite music performers, Mr. Skip, came to play. Anne couldn't believe he was in her house! She had 18 kids and their parents, and a few adult friends, over for the party. Everyone had a good time, and there were no meltdowns. Her nanny, Lucia, and Lucia's friend Elsa made the cake and some other goodies for the party. Anne is shown with Lucia holding her in the picture collage.

Anne celebrated her second birthday on Thursday ... with cupcakes (3!). She knows birthdays involve cake. She was a bit surprised when her parents and grandparents all sang to her. But then she sang "Happy Birthday" to herself all evening.

Her favorite presents were a singing picnic basket full of pretend goodies and a new play house for the backyard. She called it "home."
