Guess whooo is two?

We celebrated Audrey's birthday this weekend with family and friends. Actually, we've been celebrating for days, starting with her real birthday when we had a Munchkin Cake. This was Miles's creation for his birthday... you get munchkins and stack them in squares (4x4, 3x3, 2x2, 1) to make a pyramid. We had one for her birthday dessert and had enough left over to make one for school the next day. She liked it, she was able to grab her donuts before she blew out the candles. And Miles had popped 6 in his mouth before we blinked. Donut fiends, they are.
For the party Saturday I made Smitten Kitchen's Best Birthday Cake and decorated it like an owl. I'd thought about doing Hello, Cupcake!'s owl cupcakes, but I figured one decorating job would be much less stressful than 24. I also made the Southern Living owl Moon Pies and owl hair clippies for treats. It's a good thing there is so much cute owl stuff out there right now!



















The cousins had a blast playing together. Evan & Miles built a GeoTrax megaworld and Kate & Audrey ran around with babydolls. Kate even got to dress Audrey for the party.

She was excited about presents! We got her the PB Anywhere Chair to go with Miles's. She loves it. She had been sad because Chelsea took over the chair she had and now it's too gross to touch. Every time she saw it she would plead "new chair, new chair!" Poor thing. So now she's happy! And she got some cute outfits and a new babydoll.

Speaking of Chelsea, or "Bad Dog Chelsea" as she is known around here. The other day I'd set out all the eggs & butter to make A's birthday cake. After a few errands I came home to find 1 egg & 3 sticks of butter missing. Chelsea had even eaten the evidence. Crazy dog.

Thanks so much to all our family who came to celebrate with us!
