Happy 2nd Birthday to Sidney!

It's official, we have a 2 year old! What an action packed day this was in celebration, and the big party is yet to come! I typically take the day off from work for my kids' birthdays; just doesn't seem right to send them to daycare/school on their birthdays. I realize I won't always be able to pull them from school for this, nor will they probably want me to! Thankfully I don't work on Fridays anyway so we were all ready to go in celebration!

The birthday girl, and her big sister, were greeted with a toy room full of balloons this morning! Thank you to the Ahlness' for helping blow up all those balloons last night! They were a hit!!!
After a quick breakfast, with Elmo balloons tied to her chair, Sidney spotted presents and before I could get down the stairs, she had opened her gift from Regan! Let's just say she was in love, kissing "laughing baby Elmo" like crazy!
Daddy joined us later for lunch and we then sang Happy Birthday and presented Sidney with her very own mini birthday cake! She did great blowing out the candles, one at a time, and made a complete mess of the dining room devouring most of this cake! I'm shocked she was able to settle down for a nap!
After nap we opted for some celebratory window drawings, complete with "baby crack", because her undies just don't seem to stay up in the back!
Then it was on to full blown chaos at Chuck E Cheese! Ryan was in his glory that Logan joined us so he could sit at the table, outside of the chaos, while she helped me play games with the girls. Apparently no one gave us the memo that there was going to be 8 billion naughty kids without manners there!
Both girls love this clock. Unfortunately the lack of other well-mannered kids prevented them from going on it more than once.
And to finish the night, Sidney climbed into her new Elmo PJ's after washing off all those chaotic germs!
Happy birthday to the best little 2 year old around!
She gives the most amazing hugs and knows just how to melt my heart.
We love you Sidney!!
