[ happy TWO ]

today.  my baby is TWO.  so hard to believe.  i'm going to surpass the mushy gooshy stuff though and fill you in on the events of the day. 

the preparation started the night before.  after she was snug in bed, we hung streamers on her door and blew up balloons until we were blue in the face.  there were actually only 12 balloons i think, but when you are 9 months pregnant, there's only so much breath to use.

morning came.  when she woke up, we bolted in, scaring her half to death probably.  singing.  "happy birthday to you.  happy birthday to you.  happy birthday to karsyn.  happy birthday to you!"  we threw the balloons in her bed and clapped.  she was so excited. 

and the first words out of her mouth, you ask?  "birthday cake?"  we feasted on waffles with whipped cream and sprinkles and TWO powdered donuts with TWO candles.  we sang again and blew the candles out.  i think we blew candles out 10 times before breakfast. 

for lunch we ventured to the land of the unknown for us.  chuck-e-cheese.  never been.  it was fun.  karsyn had a blast.  we had a few friends join us for the festivities.  although the giant mouse scared her, as a mouse that size would scare any human, she blew the candle out again and went on her way.  riding the carousel a million times. 

i think it was a good birthday for her.  if only our birthdays lasted.
