Laura's second birthday party bash was yesterday and we are in recovery mode today! Lots of our MN relatives/family were able to come and celebrate Laura turning two, and we celebrated by holding an "emmy-nemma" (M&M's) party in honor of Laura's favorite treat. We were seriously doubting her ability to "party" at all when she woke up from her nap - she was a fussy, crying mess for a good 20 minutes before party time! Luckily Uncle Mike & Auntie Kaitlin arrived first and they were able to work her into a good mood. The weather was nice so people could spend time outside, and we had plenty of M&M's for everyone to snack on.
Grandma Nels & Papa George gave Laura a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe for her birthday and it is a big hit. In fact, she chose to sit in it during present opening time...luckily cousin Lilly was a great helper and would entice Laura out of the car to open a new gift every now and then. Once she saw a present she'd say "Oooh! Oh yeah, ok!" Lucky Laura opened up lots of fun gifts perfect for outside weather.
She is able to handle crowds much better now but still isn't quite sure about being the center of attention. Laura had a very serious face as everyone sang "Happy Birthday" to her and she blew out her "2" candle. Her birthday treat was an "ice keem" cake with "emmy-nemmas" on top - 2 of her favorites, can't get much better than that! To quote one of her fave shows, The Fresh
Beat Band, "We had a great day!"
