Summer's second birthday was celebrated on several days. On her actual birthday, we got up and she opened her gifts from me and Clint. It was the rest of the rooms for her doll house. She really loved them and played with those for a few hours. Later that afternoon my mom and Tre came over and we went to let her play in the water in front of the aquarium. She had a really good time. Here is a video from that.
We tried to talk Clint into going out for a birthday dinner, but we ended up just cooking a frozen pizza for dinner. She opened her present from Nona and Nono that evening which was Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy dolls. The next day I took her for her 2 year pics and then we met up with Clint and his parents for a celebratory lunch at Olive Garden. It was nice even though Clint left to go sit in the car before we even got our food. Summer pigged out on salad and ate a little lasagne and chicken parmigiana when they brought the meal. She is such a good eater.
Her actual birthday party was not until the following Saturday. We went to a place called Buddy Bear where they have inflatable slides and playgrounds. The kids all had a good time for the most part. My best friend's little girl was a little scared of the equipment though so she did not join in on the fun. When it came time to eat cake and open presents, Summer was ready. She got a tricycle from my mom which she (and the other kids) loved. They fought over it. Finally we ended up putting three of them on it. LOL She also got her first pair of skates, a few outfits, golf clubs, disney princess castle megablocks, a magnadoodle, and some art stuff. I can't remember what else. Everyone had fun. My step kids (ages 18 & 22) even had a blast on the inflatable toys. They were the last to leave with me and Summer.
The day was tiring, but she still wanted to play with her gifts when we got home. It sure was nice to have so many friends and family to spend the day with. We sure are lucky to have them all in our lives.
