Happy Sedond Birthday to our sweet Soliana

We celebrated Soliana's second birthday on Wed. July 3.
Her actual birthday is July 7 and she will spending that special day with her family.
Before you ask, there were even more Elmos.
I made these two Elmo fruit plates which were a huge hit.
The raspberries and strawberries came from the Farmer's Market, so you know they were yummy.

 It took Soliana a little bit to learn to use the blowers, but she was so proud when she mastered the skill.
 One of the gifts that we gave her was one of those storybooks that you can record in your own voice. 
John and I have given Tiz some of these books and we felt it was time to get one for Soliana.
She loved listening to us read to her, but I am not sure she could quite figure out how it all worked.  She kept looking at us while the recording was playing.
 She enjoyed her Elmo cake.

 At first she wasn't quite sure about the candle and what to do with it, so Tiz and I showed her how it's done.

 By the time the cupcakes rolled around, she had it mastered.
We lit and relit the candle about ten times, she just could not get enough of it.

Here she is enjoying her cupcake.
She opened the rest of her presents after dinner.
She loved everything.
We played a few games directed by Tizita to finish up our party.
It was a great celebration for our sweet little girl.
 
Next post will feature our Happy Birthday to America celebration which was equally as fun.
