Kylie is 2!!!!

Out little girl is 2.  I can't believe it.  I must have said this a lot last weekend cause Noah kept saying, 'Kylie, I can't believe you are 2!!!'  :-)  Last weekend was a really great celebration with family and a few of Kylie's friends.

Grammy and Papa arrived very late on Thursday night and the kids were so excited to see them first thing on Friday morning.

I took advantage of the extra hands and went to run some errands to get ready for the party on Saturday and left the kids home with my parents.  I got a lot done in a little time and made it home in time to help feed the kids lunch and get them to bed.  While they were sleeping, I got a few more things done around the house and Grammy and Papa gave Kylie her first birthday present.... a HUGE stuffed bear!  :-)  She wasn't quite sure about him at first but once she warmed up to him, she snuggled in.

Noah obviously loves him

Papa had some fun with him, too!  :-)

After some more playtime in the afternoon, we met Waylon out for dinner - Mexican, yum!

Saturday was Kylie's big day.  So nice that it landed on a Saturday this year - and a bonus - it was a bye week for NC State football!!  :-)  When everyone got up, we came down and immediately opened presents.  It was like Christmas morning!  :-)

So exciting!

Kylie dug right in!

And Noah helped

Noah picked out this remote control dog for her.  This was funny - he was "walking it" and Kylie was walking right beside the dog.  :-)

We got her this doll house and Grammy and Papa got some of the accessories that went with it.  She loves this!

Grammy got Kylie this Dora nightgown and matching slippers - she LOVES it.  :-)

We had a nice relaxing morning just playing around the house.  Waylon ran a quick errand for the party and then Grammy and Papa left around lunchtime to go pick up the cake for us.  The kids took a short nap cause they were so excited but it was better than nothing.  The party was at 4:30 and they were up by 3:00 so they had to wait for a bit.  :-)

I got quite a few sibling love pictures that day...

Nana and Grandaddy arrived around 3:30 with the balloons and Kylie was in heaven!  I almost thought I wouldn't be able to put them up cause she was having so much fun with them.  :-)

Watching out the window - she saw Grandaddy and said, 'That's MY grandaddy' to herself  :-)

Nana couldn't wait and wanted to give Kylie a present before the party.  :-)  A cute Minny Mouse doll!

Little Miss Birthday - so big.

She got these boots from Grammy and Papa, too and insisted on wearing them

The cake!  YUMMY!

My girl

Noah is such a big boy, too.

And the party begins.... play time in the yard.  It was a beautiful day for it.  Mid 70s and sunny.  We borrowed Eli and Cole's bounce house and the kids loved that.

Here is a shot I got of all the kids.  I had to tell them there was an airplane to get them all to look up!  :-)

Time for presents on the deck!

Sibling love

More sibling love

So many girl toys!

Apparently, I was really excited about this one!  :-)

And then cake time!

She was so sweet - held her head down like this almost the whole time we were all singing.  :-)

Until I called her name and she looked up - Aunt Andrea caught this wonderful shot.  LOVE IT!

Kylie loved her cake

All of her friends left and she was left finishing her cake by herself!  :-)  She didn't want to let any go to waste - when she was done with hers, she reached for the plate next to her!  :-)

Time for everyone to go - she and Ryan hugged several times but I never caught a good shot.  I think this was the 3rd or 4th time we made them hug so I could try to get a picture so I think she was over it.  :-)

Silly daddy

 After all her friends left, Nana and Grandaddy gave her their big present - a new doll baby and stroller.  She loves it!

How many grandfathers does it take to put together the stroller?  :-)

What a great day!  I think Kylie had a great birthday and enjoyed every minute!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR SWEET KYLIE GIRL!
