Cailyn turned two on December 6 - the day after the marathon, and the day we drove home from Vegas. We had a little, last minute family dinner party for her that evening.
She loves making this "cheese" face these days!
While Cailyn blew out her #2 candle, Rylee and Avery had Santa candles.
Cailyn loves this "We Did It!" Dora (she calls it her Dora Baby) that Grandma Karen and Grandpa Dave sent her.
We got her an easel, which has been a big hit!
We also got her a plasmacar...if you haven't seen them, you should watch this video. They're really cool, but hard to explain without seeing them in action! She loved it, but Rylee has kind of taken it over from her and rides it all over the house...we might have to buy another one for Rylee's birthday in a couple weeks.

The "friend party" was scheduled for Saturday...although it turned out to be another family party, because everyone else had to cancel at the last minute! Oh well - she's two and didn't know the difference and had a blast!
These are the invitations...
...and we had all of the food in the book, which means there were both cupcakes...
..and chocolate cake.
Not to mention cherry pies,
and all other sorts of yummy food! (The only thing we were missing was plums...nobody carries them in December.)
We made caterpillars
(Cailyn loves Shellie!)

and butterflies.
(Cailyn also loves sticking her face straight into her food these days.)
And I just love that she had already managed to down a cupcake and was covered in frosting before we even got around to singing Happy Birthday!
Don't forget the lollipop and ice cream cone!
At this party she was very excited about her tea set and bath tub Sleeping Beauty Barbie.
Rylee loves holding Liam.
Since we were fewer in numbers than anticipated, we didn't even touch the chocolate cake...luckily, Uncle Colin's birthday was the next day, so he got a hungry caterpillar cake for his 18th birthday! Bet not many people can say that!

(Doesn't it look just like in the book?)
For the next few weeks, Rylee kept building fruit "caterpillars" on our counter...

...even after I cleaned them up, we'd find them again!
We had fun, and Cailyn was well celebrated!
Now I can do my Christmas post...but not tonight!
