Happy birthday Lyla!

Last Thursday we celebrated two years of life with our sweet Lyla Grace. 

 Since the girls are such early risers, Lyla is usually in bed for the night by the time Eric gets home from work. Because of this, we have family breakfasts several times a week in the wee hours of dawn. This also holds true for birthday parties, and allows Aunt Alli to be able to participate with us as well.  :-)

Lyla was so excited about the blueberry muffin and the bacon that she was shaking! 

My daughters aren't huge meat eaters (probably since we only eat it once a week if that), but they DO love bacon!!

Present time!! We try to get our kids presents that the whole household can benefit from. This year, Lyla received some books (which are always in high demand at our house), animal magnets for the refrigerator, a no-spill bubble bucket, summer sandals, and a new dress along with a bank from Grandma and Grandpa.

After Eric and my sister Alli left for work, we spent the morning playing outside in the sun and blowing bubbles with Lyla's new bubble bucket. Seriously, these no spill buckets are well worth the money with all these toddler hands around!!!

 After playing outside, we had a cupcake decorating party. And who needs to invite friends when we already have four in the house?! Each girl got a paper plate with a cupcake, a dollop of homemade buttercream frosting, some sprinkles, and a spoon to spread the frosting with. As soon as they finished decorating their cupcakes, they ate them. :-)

Happy 2nd birthday to our sweet girl!
