To celebrate, we had a crowd over on Saturday, loaded lots of toddlers up with cupcakes and juiceboxes and filled the house with balloons (alllooooons, if you're one of the aforementioned toddlers). It was mostly fabulous, excepting the fact that Lillian chose twenty minutes before paty hour to come down with a nasty cold. She took it pretty well, though, and with rest periods, was able to make the most of her party.
Lillian and Naomi were totally confused by the singing and candles, but played along. Lillian wouldn't eat a bite of hers, but her sweet tooth sister went to town on hers. Naomi even shared a bite with Nana (who made all the cakes and cupcakes [and brought the balloons and the treat bags and silverware. Thanks, Nana!])
Naomi was also discovered later in the day stealing sprinkles from the cupcakes.
Since Aunt Pat made the girls the cutest aprons and hats ever, I think they'll be assigned to do all the baking for next year's party.
The gathered crowd happily cheered on two little girls who have no idea what to do with wrapped gifts. Jack held a very informative clinic on how to peel off tape, rip one cone of the paper and even how to make sure you get the card out first. He was an excellent teacher. Even baby Matthew got in on the act. Can you see him in there?
Lillian was pretty wiped out by the end of the celebration, as was William. These two took a little snooze before dinner.
We all needed a day of rest on Sunday to recuperate. It's hard work being two!
