A 2-rassic Birthday

Sunny K was thrilled to learn that the Rose Parade was arranged in honor of her birthday! We went with Daddy, Nauntie, Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Scott...the Goodell family went to the route at dawn and generously saved us seats. Good times!

We all wore our Duck gear (our football team was this year's Grand Marshall), and when Puddles the UO Duck came by, we cheered the loudest and got a feathered wave. We also had our photo taken...we'll be checking the UO magazine to see if we're famous.

Auntie Jodie brought some fun presents over, since Corinne & Noah's tournaments would keep them from her party.

Sunny received some very special custom shirts featuring NOAH, her favorite person in the whole world (much to his embarrassment sometimes). We put this one on her and then she started fussing, wanting it off...we quickly realized she wanted to hold it and admire his picture more than wear it.

We opened more presents from family in the sunshine. Here Sunny's wearing another new NOAH shirt!

"It's so soft!" She said as she felt her new robe. Thank you, Bob and Janet!

For the girl who LOVES bowling, her own set!

The next day we decorated the yard for Sunny's 2-rassic Birthday! What fun!

Daddy added some graphics to really make the entrance pop.

Popo, Daddo and the Kelleys surprised Sunny with her very own kitchen (set up in secret on the front porch while Sunny played in the back). Baby Bobbidoo was ready to demonstrate one of its many uses.

Aubrey helped Sunny get things cookin' once her party started.

Sunny wanted to be like Owen (sucking on a toy) when she saw him getting my attention.

The dino-dig in the sandbox was a hit - I bet we'll keep discovering buried dino figures for years.

Even little Owen got in there, to Brooklyn's delight!

Showing Omi the dinosaur she dug up.

Sunny, Aubrey and Maggie designing cupcakes.

Veda joins the fun, with Cameron too.

The decorate-your-cupcake work bench was a hit. Kids topped their cupcakes with sprinkles, colored sugar, dinosaur figurines, jelly-belly dino eggs and gummy worms. Why gummy worms? Because Sunny had requested them.

Cupcake decorating isn't just for the little ones!

Lola chose chocolate!

Aubrey

Mark and a sleepy Owen.

I think Sunny ate and decorated 2 cupcakes...she ate no lunch besides popcorn. Fun idea to bring that with the little bags, Omi!!

Betsy, baby-to-come Dash, Jack and Aubrey

Muller and Sunny explored the yard.

2 candles for 2 very special years of fun.

The baby-friendly pinata that I had to break in half myself at the end - our candy was too big to fall out the hole that the ribbons uncovered.

Oh, hugs! Sunny and Aubrey.

Space face - Muller looks focused, though.

Playing with Grandpa and Grandma this morning before they drove home to CA.

Harvesting our first carrots of the year!
