Happy 2nd Birthday to me!!!

You read the title right, I am now two years old. I have been celebrating for the past 2 days and it has been so much fun. It began friday morning when I woke up to find Gigi was here to visit me, she arrived late thursday night when I was already in bed. She brought down tons of gifts for me from lots of people back in Canada, thanks to everyone! Then we went to one of mommy and daddy friends house who does professional photography and she took my birthday pictures, you will see below a preview of just one of many great pictures.


Then on my actual birthday, I woke up and mommy opened my blinds to show me that we had a big snow storm over night and I was going to be able to go outside and play in the snow.

I went sledding at the Battel's house and we had a huge fire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows! I stayed out for over 2 hours and I loved every minute of it.

We got about 5-6 inches of snow, enough that daddy actually had to shovel the driveway. We even had to lend our shovel to a couple of our neighbors!

I had lots of gifts arrive from the UPS delivery man on my birthday as well. He delivered me a gift from Auntie Amy, these really cool Princess board books and princess pyjamas. I got flowers from Great Gramma Hollinger, they were so pretty and had a Mickey Mouse balloon attached. I also got a huge doll house, just for me, it is actually taller than me, I love it!

Gigi made a whole bunch of cupcakes for my party, for all my friends and I. They were so yummy, they had chocolate, vanilla, pink and green sprinkles and these really neat Tinkerbell rings! Thanks Gigi for all your help getting things ready for my party.

Daddy also brought me a huge collection of Tinkerbell balloons, one of the balloons was as big as me, it was so cool! Gigi brought down my Christmas gifts from my cousins up in Sudbury and I got to open them on my birthday, I got some really nice stuff, including the jogging suit I am wearing in the picture below. It is a Vancouver 2010 outfit, I am all set for the Olympics!

Not only did we have cupcakes at my party, we also had this really yummy carrot cake that Fisher's mommy, Kara made just for me, all from scratch, thanks Kara!

Now my party was a paint and pizza party, so of course all of us kids got to paint pictures with real paint and paint brushes. Mommy and Daddy rearranged the rec room in the basement and setup colouring sheets and paint all over the room. All of my friends parents thought mommy and daddy were crazy but I promise they aren't. We are redoing the carpet in that room so it didn't matter if we made a mess! And we did make quite the mess!!!

Look at what the basement looked like by the end of the night, wow, we did a pretty good job, didn't we!!!

After we finished painting we got to have cupcakes and cake, I needed some help from mommy and my friends to blow out my candles but we did it!

Ella decided it would be fun to go back downstairs at the end of the night and paint her whole face, doesn't she look scary!

I was exhausted at the end of the night, all partied out! Daddy and I sat down on the couch together to watch a show before I went to bed.

Mommy and Daddy finally finished redoing my old room for my new baby sister, Paige. I think they did a really good job, it is very pretty, I hope my little sister likes it. Before they even told Great Granny what colours they painted the room she had already shipped down a beautiful blanket that matches perfectly, great job Great Granny!

Now it is the day after my birthday and I am still opening gifts. I got this really neat trampoline from Gigi and Papa, an indoor trampoline. I helped daddy put it together, I am such a good little helper.

Well that is all for now, we are going to have a relaxing Sunday today, I think it might be a pyjama day! Thanks to everyone for the wonderful gifts and all of you who were able to come and celebrate at my party.

Love y'all,

Emmie
