Two!

On August 27th my baby girl turned two! How did this happen? I know for a fact that it can't have been two years since Raylee was born. She was a lucky girl and got to celebrate her birthday on three different days.

The Sunday before her birthday we celebrated with my family at my parents house. It was a last minute decision to celebrate it that day, so she just ended up with cupcakes, but she didn't seem to mind. She did really good at blowing out her candles and loved it so much that we had to relight them three times so that she could keep blowing them out, and she probably would have done it all night if we had let her.

While we were all eating our cupcakes Raylee reached for something in the middle of the table and forgot that her cupcake was in front of her and ended up smashing it all over her jammies.
On her actual birthday we didn't do too much since Corey's store was just opening and he had to be there pretty much the whole day. Luckily he got to come for a few hours in the afternoon and Raylee got to open her presents.



Then for the rest of the day she just got to play with all her new stuff, including play dough


and she also went swimming out in the backyard

and ran through the sprinklers which she surprisingly loved.


On the Sunday after her birthday we had all of Coreys family over for dinner and a little party. Raylee had tons of fun playing with all her cousins, especially Dusty who she just adores right now. She follows him everywhere and he is sweet enough to let her follow along and to play with her.




After opening lots more presents she got to blow out her candles again, but none of my pictures worked. Luckily I had taken a picture of the cake earlier, but have decided that cake decorating is definitely not my forte! Oh well, at least it tasted good!

She definitely got enough presents from everyone over the three days to last her until Christams (we hope!) and she had tons of fun! Hopefully this next year will go by a little so slower than the last!
