Happy 2nd Birthday !

February 3, 2009: Angela turned 2 years old today.

It's amazing how fast she has grown over the few months she's been with us. Our little girl is now officially in her 'Terrible Twos'!

She talks a lot, still has a ready smile on her face, has a love/hate relationship with Ben especially during playtime or car rides and her current fave word is 'NO'. (As an aside - Ben's current fave word now is 'WHY')

We celebrated her birthday at the daycare the Friday prior to her birthday. Ben did not have a class then and Matt and I took the afternoon off from work. We had a birthday cake and apple juice. We had the children from the Toddler class and also the 2year old class (she will be moving into this class in the next few days).

The following day - Saturday, we went to watch Disney Playhouse Live at the Energy Solutions center. We were all tired so we essentially took our afternoon nap while watching the show. We paid for 4 seats but as it turned out, Angela slept on Matt's lap and I had Ben on my lap. What an expensive way to have our afternoon nap! We keep telling ourselves that Ben and Angela are still too young for these shows but we get an email promotion with discounted tickets and we go ahead and buy.

On the day of her birthday, we got her from day care and all of us went to the open house of a school we are thinking of sending Ben and Angela next school year. Since it was getting late, we only managed to get a quick bite at Arctic Circle. We did buy her a cake. We didn't get to eat the cake and open the gifts until Wednesday, though.

Here are some pictures from her birthday party at the daycare. Enjoy!
