Elizabeth is 2!!!!

This is her saying I'm 2.

We had her birthday party last night with all the family. Jon and Clarice even got to come, via skype. That was fun because they got to watch her open the koala gifts they got her.


Andrew made a cute pink care bear cake for his little girl. It was a "darn good looking cake " quoting Andrew. She was excited about it and Ethan said "its a pink bear". The twizzlers that made up the rainbow on the tummy of the bear caught her eye pretty quickly.

After dinner and cake, we got into the presents. We all went in on a double swing for her, so I wasn't expecting many presents to open. Of course she had plenty of presents to open. It was a little crazy, since she was really fascinated by some of them and would have played with them forever. But, you have to keep shoving more in her face, her open this one. Oh, well she got to play with them this morning. She was truly blessed with great gifts from everyone.
Here is the list of her presents:

• Grandma and Grandpa; 3 dresses, 2 pairs of p.js, cup & plate set, headbands, butterfly bag
  
• Grandma Becky; wooden stacking rings, lion flashlight, bubble machine, jeans and a shirt, clown bank

• Great Grandma Bennett; 2 necklaces, and 6 bracelets, jewelry box, $5

• Great Grandma Harris; gold locket necklace (one of her old ones), $2
• Great Grandparents Dillavou; card w/ $2
• BAST; Strawberry Shortcake baseball hat, green shiny pom poms, ball net game, glow sticks

• Jon & Clarice; koala beanie baby, koala shirt, koala book
• Mom, Dad, & Ethan; double swing

Their were many highlights but the hat and all the jewelry stayed on the rest of the night and were put on first thing this morning. She took the flashlight into "The Cave" (Ethan's closet) this morning and they are both enjoying the bubble maker. They also played with the stacking rings this morning. She also really enjoyed the swing and sat on it first thing this morning. Elisea and Elizabeth played with the pom poms.

All in all it was another successful birthday party. I think she was a little overwhelmed by everyone and all the fuss of the birthday party. She did spend some time throughout the night just sitting by herself somewhere. She had fun playing with everyone though. Thanks to all who attended.
