Megan's 2nd Birthday

This past weekend our little "Meggers" turned 2. Due to the weather we opted to have a party inside at Bonker's. We invited our family and friends in the area for a couple hours of pizza, cake, and fun. I believe all kids and some parents got naps in later in the day.


Here is Megan with our babysitter Taunia and her husband John. Megan enjoys her time and loves to play with John.


We tried to get the kids to eat some pizza in-between the playing - we were more successful when it came to cake time.

Here is Megan, Theo, and Lily in the 3 and under area. Megan enjoyed throwing the blocks at BJ.



Megan is trying to convince Theo to play a little bit more with the blocks.


Our little engineer at work. Building the blocks, then promptly kicked them over when she got out.

This was the cake that Megan picked out. It was either Cars or Rapunzel, tough choices for a 2 year old.

Megan did not quite figure out the blowing of the candle but was very happy about things.

Cupcakes and frosting - it doesn't get much better than this.



We couldn't dish things out fast enough. As you can see, all the kids were back for the cake part.


Megan started opening presents once she had been wiped down from her frosting.
She is pretty excited about these gardening tools. I think I'll have another helper this spring for the flowers.

She has the unwrapping of presents down.

This backpack was probably her favorite gift. As you can see she is in motion - I had a hard time getting a picture of her as she was just running back and forth with the backpack.


Megan at 2 Years:
  • sleeping in a toddler bed
  • loves to read books now, favorite is "Sleep baby Sleep"
  • Still loves her sister and wants to be with her all the time
