We had a really fun day, celebrating Samantha's birthday yesterday. We started with a morning present party, opening all the "Sammie presents" that had been stacked on the bookshelf for the past week or so. Samantha really got into the present opening, learned how to rip and tear very quickly. She got most excited about the first present -- new doll, books and candy from Grandma and Grandpa Bishop. It was hard to convince her there were other fun things in the rest of the packages.
Here she is, standing on the living room table, modeling her new presents and enjoying the audience... It was really fun to have Aunt Janice and Uncle Jay here to help celebrate. Sam loves to play for the crowd!
She got really spoiled by all grandparents... a new sweater and jeans from Grandma Eva and Grandpa Doug (sweater modeled below and above), and new dress-up hat, necklace and purse from Grandma and Grandpa Hone, and other VERY fun items that were favorites all day!
After Brian, Janice and Jay left, Samantha and I had a leisurely morning playing with her presents, then went to an impromptu lunch visit at our friend, Debbie's. We then went down to the shops and bought some BALLOONS for a special birthday girl. (Anyone looking for great gifts for two-year-olds, balloons seem to be well appreciated!)
After nap time in the evening, we met up with our group for a delicious Italian dinner at the Pizzaria right down the street from our house. Sam played to the crow, insisting on wearing her sunglasses and necklace through dinner.
Brian also wore the glasses, for a second. Very nice look, isn't it?
We came home for delicious chocolate Snowman cake. Samantha LOVES snowmen so much, I thought it would be fun to make her a little snowman cake for her birthday. It was a hit.

Our happy birthday girl, enjoying her piece of birthday cake... she asked for the pink mittens, and enjoyed picking all the buttons off as well.
Happy Birthday, Samantha dear! We loved celebrating two years with you. Fun times to come!!
