Saturday morning we celebrated Raelyn’s 2nd birthday with family. The night before, mommy worked tirelessly on creating a special butterfly cake.
The girl cousins (Raelyn, Avery, and Rachelle) had fun playing together, making their butterfly wings craft, and wearing their wings.
I read Raelyn’s (current) favorite book called Watch Me from Kindermusik. (It encourages toddlers to stomp their feet like an elephant, flutter like a butterfly, etc.) Raelyn is a pro at all the “moves”.
Raelyn opened birthday presents and loved each and every one that she received! (Thank you!!)
{Noteworthy: When she was opening presents, she opened a card that had a picture of a candle in it. We didn't know that at first, but when she saw it she ran into the kitchen to the "junk" drawer and started whining. Mark followed her in there and after a minute finally figured out that she wanted him to get the lighter from the drawer and then she took him to the table to light the centerpiece candle. After he did that she happily returned to open the rest of her gifts. It’s amazing to us how she pieces things in a photo or drawing to real life objects!}
She taste tested the icing before we sang happy birthday.
Raelyn loved her cake so much she somehow scammed TWO pieces!!
She had a wonderful party and thanks you for coming and/or wishing her a happy 2nd birthday!

*special. Ugh. I have two toddlers crawling all over me. ;)
What a joyous birthday girl, Raelyn! You and your cousins had so much fun hiding from each other in the giant-size gift bag, making a sled out of the doll box, and playing with your new toys. Your butterfly cake was yummy.
Love you! Grandma R
I cannot believe you did not call me to borrow my butterfly decorations!! I have an entire TUB from our butterfly birthday party. Next theme, you must call me. If it isn't sold, it's stored by theme in my Mommy closet, and it's yours!!!
I can't believe you decorated that cake and didn't have real icing bags with tips!! Do you have arthritis now or what??? Looks like it was a fun filled party! Three will be here before you can clean up from this!
