Our Big 2 Year Old

We have a 2 year old ! I can't believe it! Kate's birthday was Friday last week and we celebrated with family on Saturday. We had a farm animal theme because Kate loves going to her G's farm! Sadly, her Pop (my dad) has a farm too but she's never seen it before so we'll have to take her out there soon to see the big tractors and cows. I think we're going to have a little farm girl on our hands.
So I have to tell you Kate was not herself the day of the party which was a total bummer. I don't think she was feeling good, I didn't make her lay down for quiet time that day (she's no longer taking naps but I still make her lay down for a couple of hours everyday) and I think she was so overwhelmed with all the attention. So, this will explain why she's frowning in every picture. Poor thing.

She loved her cow balloon

Most of the pictures she was crying in them but this was one decent picture of her opening presents. I had this vision that she was going to love this part, but this is the part where she had a melt down. Oh well.

We were singing Happy Birthday to You and she looked like she was terrified! haha!

I made her cake. It wasn't anything fancy but I found these cute farm theme candles to go with the theme. It tasted pretty good too.

I decided to make it a rainbow cake and it turned out really cool looking. It was a mess and time consuming to do it this way, but totally worth it.

My brother Kyle was so cute. He found this balloon kit and practiced at home to make these balloon figures. I don't know if he meant to make this look like a flower but we were all impressed!

Kate playing with her gifts with cousin Pierce. She was feeling a little bit better by this point, when all the attention was not on her.

We go to her 2 year checkup next week so I'll post her stats then. I can't believe she's not a baby anymore. She's growing so fast and I don't know if I like that. But we're thankful she's a happy healthy, active little girl and we love her sooooo much!
