So I spent a week obsessively checking weather.com to see if it was going to rain on the day of Keely's birthday party. Thankfully, it didn't rain, but it was COLD. In the 50's and it had rained the whole night before so the playground was full of mud puddles. Thankfully the moms of Keely's friends love her enough to come out in the cold and celebrate with us. Before dinner we played by the lake and watched the 'waves' roll in. Yes, it was THAT windy.
Keely was really excited to be able to drink from a big girl cup, and not just water! She's been getting water in a real cup at meal times, but this was JUICE! Ok, it was really crystal light, but she doesn't know any better!
After Daniel and my dad got the burgers and hot dogs ready, we all dug in!
To spare everyone from eating Keely spit (despite her obsession with bubbles she still has not figured out how to blow effectively), we went ahead and cut Keely a piece before putting candles in it and singing Happy Birthday to her. I really wish Daniel had gotten a shot of her face while everyone was singing. It was absolutely dumbstruck. "Everyone is looking at me??" I never would have thought Keely was the shy type, but I couldn't decide if that face was excited or panicked. After, Keely was quite happy to eat the cake!
Then all of the kids went to play on the playground. We had a good time. Keely kept trying to get Grandpa (Bagdi) to go down the slide with her. He's such a sucker he gave in and she was thrilled. Once people started saying goodbye to her she started crying, realizing that the fun was almost over. John D helped me to distract her by helping her blow bubbles. It was such a great evening, despite the weather and I really appreciate everyone who came out to celebrate my baby turning two with us. Wow, two.
