Aubrey Turns Two

Our little girl turned two this month. She enjoyed a multi-day celebration that started on her actual birthday and continued during a weekend party with family.

Aubrey's big day started with a trip to the living room, where gifts and a birthday balloon awaited. 

Graham was more than happy to help Aubrey open her birthday gifts. Turns out he's been pretty excited to play with them as well.

We enjoyed a birthday dinner at Fazoli's and then stopped back at the house for cupcakes. The gift bag for Aubrey's present from her cousins and Aunt and Uncle was big enough to fit five people (and probably more).

Nothing says "Happy Birthday" quite like Minnie Mouse cupcakes. Between our family lunch at Red Robin, dinner at Fazoli's, and cupcakes for dessert, we had full stomachs that day. 

Enough photos, just let me eat my cupcake already. 

That's the stuff.

Elmo helped us celebrate Aubrey's second birthday during a family party on Sunday. 

"Hey cousin, that's MY cake!"

I swear Graham was smiling in the other versions of this photo. Unfortunately, I had my eyes closed in what would have been the best one.
