We had a great day today with Julia. She woke up and ran down the hall to see her balloons and decorations. Balloons are a new favorite thing for her so she wasn't about to do anything else but play with the balloons...no breakfast, no getting dressed, not even Curious George could tear her away from her new toy? Go figure!? Well, we finally did get ready for the day to head out to see the animals. We went to the pond to feed the ducks and then down to the petting zoo to ride the ponies and see the farm animals.....she rode the ponies 4 times. After a busy morning and tired out from being in the sun we headed home for what I thought we would be a welcomed nap?! She was almost asleep in the car but got home and saw the balloons and she didn't fall sleep for an hour and a half......I thought for sure I wasn't going to get my daily break...but eventually she drifted off, probably dreaming of balloons.
The party started when Daddy got home and we had pizza. We sang both birthday songs, the Mott version and the Cromwell version. Blew out the candle and then literally tore into the bags of gifts....paper was flying everywhere. I don't think she even saw what was in the bags she opened. But then she sat in Daddy's lap to have help opening a few. She will be busy with her new toys for awhile...I hope anyway. Layne said it will probably only last for 48 hours and then she will be bored again...but we'll see......she has lots to keep her busy...I hope anyway (fingers crossed!)
After gifts and playing the Elephant game we had some "Monkey" cake...Julia was all about the frosting. Took a bath, put on some new pjs and said our goodbyes to our guests. She is out playing with her new toys as I sit here and type. What a wonderful day!! Thanks for all the birthday wishes new and far. We appreciate all of you for making Julia's day so great!! HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY JULIA!!!
