We basically had the pool to ourselves, since we were there on a Thursday morning. When Elise woke up, we told her it was her birthday & she said, "Party, 2" - and then she got to open a small present - some new pool noodles to go along to the party.
We were blessed to use the pool & sunroom at one of the apartment complexes where my dad works - it really was the perfect setting for swimming, having snacks, pizza, and then cake & ice cream.
I had been asking Elise what kind of cake she would like for her birthday - an ice cream cake or filled cake - and each time, she promptly replied, "fill cake". So, we ventured over to Costco to order it the day before her birthday, but she couldn't understand why we weren't putting it in the cart...note to self, next time, don't mention that we're going to get her birthday cake when we're only going to order it.
Sweet tarts! Lots of sugar, chocolate & fun!

Make a wish! Thank you so much friends, for helping us to celebrate Elise's 2nd birthday. It was beautiful weather, and she had so much fun. We left the pool around 2pm - way past her bedtime, but once we got home there was a package at the front door & so we opened it. She didn't take a nap that whole afternoon, but played and played with her new gifts. I guess that's what birthday's are all about. It's hard to believe that she's already turned 2 - these past couple of years have flown by, but what a joy Elise has been to John and I. We love you & we're so thankful God blessed us with you. We love watching you grow & learn more each week. Happy 2nd birthday, Claire Elise!
