Happy Birthday!

Keira is now officially 2! Wednesday was her birthday and we marked the day by visiting "cocoa" her favorite horse (on a carousel). We then had ice cream - for the second time that day. What more could a 2 year old want?

Saturday Keira had a small party with a few close friends and showed off her new swingset - thanks daddy and grandpa! The party was a huge success - made unexpectedly better by the sudden flooding of our backyard 15 minutes before guests arrived. Luckily, when your 2, a flooded backyard is even more fun than a dry backyard. As we suspected one of our sprinkler pipes had broken so I sense a little digging in our future.

Keira seemed to enjoy the party, especially the cake. She really "got into it" so to speak. All in all she had a good few days and we are so happy. We enjoy every day with her and are loving watching her learn and grow.

Happy Birthday Keira Grace!
