The Big... 2

Happy Birthday to Alexis! Today she turned 2 years old. Quite the milestone! Alexis started her birthday off with a bang by throwing up her breakfast this morning. Sort of reminiscent of my 21st birthday... or rather, the morning after my 21st birthday. But luckily she seemed to recover by the evening and was able to knock back a bowl of mac 'n cheese and two pieces of chocolate cake.


Opening presents...


Uncle Scott came over to join in the festivities... and gave Alexis a rubber chicken! She LOVES that creepy little chicken! He also gave her some play-do that we are saving for a rainy day.


The big gift... a doll house! Let me just say that doll houses have come a long way since my day. I am pretty sure the one I had was made of lead, and definitely had lots of sharp, dangerous points. This one is like a plantation house and I am pretty sure it has more square footage than our townhouse.


Note the rubber chicken sleeping on the couch... lifelike, isn't he?


Making a wish...




Alexis really should look into being an interior designer... check out the top two rooms of the mansion. Yes, that is Frosty the snowman sleeping in the baby cradle, in the attic, wearing both baby blankets to keep warm. Drop down a floor and the rubber chicken is taking a snooze on the couch in the living room, which also houses the swingset. All other furniture in the house goes on the terrace outside.


Stay tuned for year #3...
