We had Livi's first, 2nd birthday celebration this past weekend with special visits from Nana, Papa, Aunt Jenny, Indri, David, Novi and Emmooo (as Livi says). Aside from the MacEachens forgetting a map and taking 24 hours to get here it was a wonderful weekend! (not quite 24 hours, but I'm sure it felt like that to them...) the kids had so much fun together and indri made a yummy indonesian dinner! I made elmo cupcakes and a dinosaur cake (since livi couldn't make up her mind and I honestly wanted to try both!)
The cupcakes came out pink, but after adding so much food coloring and no transition from red to pink, I figured pink was just fine. Liv got some wonderful presents...arts and crafts supplies (which she loves), a sleeping beauty doll (which she also loves) but her fav present was her pink cowboy boots from aunt missy! They are her shoes of choice and the only day she didn't wear them was yesterday when we had a bunch of rain. Thankfully it wasn't a fight, since she's a puddle jumper and truly needs to wear rain boots! She was actually dying to get outside to play in the puddles as soon as she realized it was raining out.
We missed dada though - he has been off galavanting in Capetown but is thankfully on his way home now and will actually make it for Livi's official birthday! Thus ending his record of travelling for everyone's birthday since we moved to NJ.
