two.

happy happy birthday, sweet kj! you're not "almost 2!" anymore, but you're the real deal. TWO!

oh my, what a day! it was one where this little girl was surrounded by much love.
it started at about 6am with the unveiling of her new play kitchen (hand-crafted by poppa & daddy!), which she promptly set about using for washing hands and making oatmeal. then there were more presents to open, each of which must be enjoyed for awhile before moving on to the next one (loved her style!)... soon after was school-time (ecfe), then nanna's arrival, THEN the big birthday party!

we hijacked one of our playgroup times, added a few other favorite friends, and crafted ourselves a popcorn birthday party for the big two-year-old! it was a bit tricky finding a birthday treat that kj would enjoy, since she really doesn't have a sweet tooth, but the popcorn proved a hit. so did the craft time (shakers using popcorn kernels between paper plates), the popcorn story, the popcorn fingerplays, and the popcorn parachute game. we had twelve kiddos in total, i believe, plus a newborn. it was a wild & wonderful party for our amazing girl. the day was topped off by a birthday dinner, more presents (a new babydoll!), phone calls from grandparents, and late to bed... i don't think she would have asked for anything more, if she'd know she could have... we love you, kj! so glad you had this happy day in your life!
