Victoria's 2nd Birthday

We began the festivites on the eve of her birthday as her Papa was sick and was not going to be able to attend her party. She was able to open 2 of her gifts from us and Mamaw let her open two gifts as well. From Mama and Papa she opened a pink drum, harmonica, maracas, tamborine and a Barbie Doctor. Her Mamaw gave her a washing machine for her Rose Petal Cottage and a birthday cake set.

The morning of her birthday, January 2nd, I woke her up singing Happy Birthday to her and asked her if she was excited and she was. We went to pick up her Elephant cupcake cake at Macey's. We were to be at Build-A-Bear Workshop at 11am for her party. Mamaw, Gracie, Spencer, Brett, Aunt Kari, Nana Ann, Megan and of course mama were all there. She first picked out a Dinosaur to build but when, Brandon, our party leader put in the roar sound she wanted nothing to do with it. She picked out an Elephant instead and also did not want the trumpeting sound in it. I did record something and she was OK with that sound in there. Brandon was a lot of fun with the kids. While he was stuffing the animals he would have the other kids pass around a kitty like a hot potato and whoever had it when he was done had to do something silly. Spencer had to wear ribbons in his hair, pretend he was a tea pot and say I'm a pretty tea pot. I had to act like a gorilla and say I'm the party mom. It was a lot of fun. Brandon helped Victoria pick out her Elephants dress. After Build-A-Bear we went to McDonald's to eat lunch, have cake and open presents. Mama and Papa got her a pink keyboard, Mamaw got her a kitchen utensil set and a bake oven, Campbell family got her a look and find book, braclet, necklace and goal chart and her friend Megan got her a Bear book. She had a lot of fun with her friends and they had a lot of fun. She takes her Elephant, which her name is Elli, everywhere we go. She sleeps with her every night. I told her that we are going to get her some pajamas and more clothes. But for now she is wearing a pair of the girl's pajamas. I took some pictures but I was mostly taking video.

Happy 2nd Birthday Victoria!!!
