HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY TAIYA

Mommy, Manuela and Auntie Lisa

Taiya was excited about receiving this car and Barbie from Mom and Dad.

January 16th - Taiya turned two today. I made a double decker brownie cake with vanilla icing.

On the weekend, Auntie Lisa and cousin Dylan came for a small celebration. Here is Auntie Lisa showing Taiya her new sing along Dora book.

Unfortunately, Deanna and Parents were unable to come due to being ill...hope you feel better soon guys. Turns out that later in the afternoon, Matthew broke out with a fever also, so Frank and him were unable to come out for dinner as well.

Five of us still managed to get out for Taiya's birthday celebration (Taiya, Mom, Auntie Lisa, Dylan and Manuela). Here's Taiya with her big cousin Dylan, both waited patiently as our meal seemed to take forever. We ate at Montana's and went home afterwards for some ice cream cake Mmm Mmm.

Here is Taiya and Night Time Dora waiting for the cake. The house rule was that anyone having cake had to wear a Dora Party Hat (o.k Dora didn't have cake but she still really wanted a hat)....this was just a little fun thing to do because it all seemed so quiet, and didn't really feel like much of a birthday celebration was going on (at least it brought out a few laughs) :)

"Pour Moi?!" (note Taiya would not keep her hat on no matter what we did).
Another cake and song?

We got a picture with the hat only balancing on top and down it went.
