Leighton Turns 2!

Lighting of the special birthday breakfast candle!

HaPpY 2nd BiRtHdAy LeIgHtY BuG!

Realizing this special birthday treatment is pretty cool.


Pffft......more spit than blowing but she did it.


Well hello pancakes, whipped cream & maple syrup!


Darren & I both took the day off work to take Ellis to her preschool fieldtrip
to Blank Park Zoo and to celebrate Leighton's birthday. It was a glorious day!

Ellis & her BFF Addi

Leighton, me, Kensi & my good friend Debbie (Addi's Mama)

The Gibbons' family with the Gibbons' monkeys--how appropriate!


"The Ellis" pose #2 for the day. Taking a trip on the zoo train.


Best part of the zoo is feeding the goats!

With a face like this, how could it not be??

and more feeding...

and more feeding... If I could have read his mind, I'm sure he was thinking,
"Just give me the whole dang cup of food lady. This one piece at a time is annoying!"

Oooohhhhhhhhhh birthday cake!!!!

Yummy spaghetti birthday dinner

Pressies!

Notice the chunk of missing frosting? See "Oooh birthday cake."

A few birthday pressies from Mommy, Daddy & Ellis.
By the way, highly recommend the Leap Frog Counting Birthday Cake.
So cute & they love it.

Leighton was so busy playing with the puzzle and cake, she wasn't really interested
in opening any more gifts. Gotta love a 2-year-old!

I just can't get enough of this cute little face!

Leighton's favorite book-of-the-moment is Knuffle Bunny.

Puppets


and a wooden puppet theater. Much like Ellis' Barbie Doll clothes,
this might have been more for me than Leighton!


Birthday cake time!


Yummo!

Trying out the puppet theater.

We were hoping a gift like this was sharable and would grow with them
over the next several years. We couldn't handle anymore pink plastic in the house.
The End of Leighton's Big Day!
