We had Caroline's birthday party last Saturday - I still can't believe she is 2. Caroline is helping daddy grill hamburgers and hot dogs.
Caroline and her best friend Blair (who were born 10 days apart) are enjoying Cal's grilling - but mostly they are enjoying Doritos.
After lunch, we opened presents. My brother got Caroline the coolest book called Waddle that she loves. We had to take it away to open more presents.
As you can see, she loves books. Cal and I ended up opening most of her presents because she was too focused on the books she got.
Grammie and Ger got her a rocking horse, which she rides several times a day.
Cal and I got her a tricycle. She also rides on it several times a day. She doesn't have any trouble pedaling, but we definitely need to work on steering (she is improving though).
We had a Nemo theme for her party. I made cupcakes and a Nemo cake.
Caroline loved the icing off the cupcake!
After everyone left, Caroline enjoyed playing with all her new toys. We got her cutting food, which is wooden pieces of food held together by velcro. It comes with a wooden knife and a cutting board. She sat and played with it for an hour straight after her birthday party. She has hardly touched her old toys since her birthday party.
Then, we ate at Burger King. We took her for a real birthday lunch on Wednesday to Maggiano's, her favorite restaurant, where she had her favorite meal - chicken parmesan.
After lunch, we took her to Dave & Buster's. They have a couple of games she loves to play and win tons of tickets. Here, she's pretending to drive.

Later, she decided to use Maggie's box as a hat.

We spent two weekends building shelves for our garage. Caroline wanted to help and really enjoyed hammering. Anytime she sees a hammer now she wants to use it.
She was really concentrating here - you can see her tongue sticking out.
Another cute pigtail picture - I couldn't resist.
