We all had an exciting weekend for Camryn's birthday. It is still hard to believe that she is 2 already. We started off the weekend by going to her Gymboree class on Saturday morning. Chris and I felt like we had never left because we were just there Friday evening. She had a lot of fun learning and pretending to be one of her favorite things - birds. As soon as we got home, we put her down for a nap so we could get ready for her party. Chris picked up the cakes (when you turn 2, you get 2 cakes!) and balloons while I started on the food. When she got up from her nap, she was excited to see that her guests were here. She was especially happy when she saw that one of her cakes was Cinderella. She successfully blew out one of her candles all on her own, but couldn't quite blow out the second one. So, she tried to put it out with her fingers. Needless to say, mommy had to move in really quick to blow it out for her before she hurt herself!!! We gave her a fork and told her to dig in because that cake was all hers. Well, I hadn't thought about how messy blue icing could be - good thing we were outside! I don't think she ate any cake because she was enjoying the icing too much. She ended up getting icing on her dress, so we had to change into another dress for presents - just like last year! Although, this year, she didn't require an entire bath before opening her presents!!! She took her sweet old time opening her presents - I guess she wanted it to last a long time! She spent the rest of the evening enjoying all of her new gifts. She really was a very lucky birthday girl!!!
On Sunday, her daycare had their annual family picnic. Since she hasn't been going for the past 2 weeks, we thought it would be fun for her to go see her friends. She plays a lot with 2 girls in her class, Peyton and Kirsten. We told her she was going to get to play with them and she got a huge smile on her face. When we got there, she was excited to see everyone. We had a picnic lunch and the kids got to enjoy all kinds of fun activities. Camryn, Peyton, and Kirsten all had fun doing the activities together. They did the peanut scramble (with yummy candy!), got their faces painted, and had a BLAST in the bounce house. Since they were the only ones in their age group there, they had the bounce house all to themselves!! Once they discovered they could climb up to a great big slide, they didn't want to bounce anymore! Camryn LOVED the slide! She flew down it every time with a huge smile on her face. They all had a really great time together. When it was time for the bigger kids to have a turn, the girls played on the playground instead. I am really glad we decided to go. She has little friends at Gymboree, but she has known Peyton and Kirsten for a lot longer. I love the fact that she isn't in daycare over the summer, but it is a bummer that she doesn't get to play with them every day. But, she will be back there before we know it. Ugh - I don't even want to think about that right now!!!
