My baby is 2!!

That's right!  My sweet baby is 2!  I seriously can't believe it.  I guess the more kids you have the faster time goes.  Well, we decided to celebrate her birthday a day early.  So for every party you have to have some presents...

 Little helpers to help open the presents....

 And then we had some cake.  Trav was in charge of the cake this year so he decided to do the roman numeral 2. Josh kept saying it looked like an 11 so Kate was turning 11.  And of course the kids helped decorate it.  We saw this thing that said  "If you want to make different flavors of frosting then just add kool-aid mix to vanilla."  Well since Kate's favorite color is purple we decided to try it with grape kool-aid.  What a pretty purple color!

 She blew out the candle.....

 Then took a big bite!

 I hope you can appreciate the looks on everyone's faces.  Let's just say they don't make grape flavored frosting for a reason.  It kind of tasted like purple laffy taffys but without the laffy and the wrong consistency.  Rach and Josh wouldn't even eat the frosting, and that's saying a lot.  But we do have leftover cake at our house if anyone want's to try it!!

 Yes it was superbowl Sunday (who was playing?) so we had the commercials...um...I mean "game" on after dinner.  I like how the boys are glued to the t.v.  3 generations worth.  The girls don't even care.

 The didn't even notice anyone else was in the room they were having so much fun reading.

 The actual day of her birthday was yesterday and we didn't celebrate at all!  Unfortunately the little birthday girl has the croup and was really sick so we just chilled, watched Finding Nemo, she did take time out to dress up as a knight.

 And for as sick as she was (and still is) this picture's actually really perky.  She's so cute.  It was funny because when she woke up that morning Josh said "She looks the same!  She doesn't look 2, she's still little!"  I don' t know if he thought there would be some big transformation or something but he seemed disappointed Kate was pretty much the same.

 And I know this isn't the most flattering picture but Rachel lost another tooth a few nights ago.  This was her first 'top' tooth.  She's pretty excited about that.

 Here's one last one of my big 11, oh I mean 2 year old, still doing her favorite thing in the world....reading with a big stack of books.  Love this girl!
