Kaylee turns 2!

The morning of September 7th dawned like any other...except it was the last day Kaylee could answer "how old are you?" with this...
On September 8th, our first little angel turned 2. And we celebrated the following Saturday, the 13th, by telling Kaylee to get herself all gussied up; a task she set herself to with great relish and gusto! She brushed her teeth.
She did her hair.
And then she looked at us..."now what?"
She seemed to get a little bored wondering what the big "to-do" about the day was.
But she soon learned...as her friends and family started to pile into our house...that it was her birthday party!
Her friends joined her for some Minnie Mouse themed frivolity...and cake!
"Get that camera out of my face already Daddy," Kaylee said, "I'm trying to have some cake!"
(Daddy was on camera duty, because Mommy had to feed Rowan.)
All the kids seemed to like the dessert cuisine well enough.
And Rowan eventually spent a few non-crying minutes getting to know her great-grandparents: Great-Grandma Chip on Mommy's side and Great-Grandpa "Ba" on Daddy's.
But Kaylee had to get in on that action too, she wanted some attention from "The Greats" too. It was "her" day after all.
But then she got side-tracked as it was time to start attacking the ridiculous mountain of presents.
She sure had a lot to open...so much that by the time it was all said and done most of her friends had fled for bed-time was fast approaching.
Kaylee really liked her recorder from Sophie, which she insisted on opening right away...and hasn't wasted an opportunity to fill our home with "beautiful music" since!
Thanks to everyone who was able to come and celebrate Kaylee's 2nd birthday with us. Its all a big haze to me, as Ro was only 2 weeks old and I was barely functioning, but I think it went alright:)
More pics of the 2 girls to come...check back soon, will try to post again tonight or tomorrow.
