Eliza's Birthday

Eliza has been talking about her birthday and has been very excited for it- she calls it her "happy happy" :)

We went to grant's farm (named because Ulysses S Grant lived there).  It was a super cool place...and free!  First you take a tram ride tour through an animal park that is home to some pretty cool animals.  That was our favorite part.  Then you end up in a place with more cool animals to see and if you pay $5 you can also get a sno-cone, a carousel ride, and 2 milk bottles to feed the baby goats.  I don't think we could have found 3 things that Eliza liked better, it was the perfect way to celebrate her birthday.  In this picture she is eating her sno-cone.

She loves carousels and loves to be buckled.  She calls it a "bucky".  The skirt (tutu?) she is wearing is the same one Hannah wore on her second birthday.

She was very cute feeding the goats their bottles and petting them.

We invited the neighborhood kids that were playing in the backyard to stay for cake.

 

I mentioned before that I loved making picture collages.  I made each kid one of pictures of their life to display for their birthday month.  Eliza loved talking about the different pictures of herself, especially the ones when she is a baby.

And just like that my baby is two years old...crazy!  I love this little girl very much and so does her daddy and siblings!  She is very funny, smart, cute, sweet, happy, and so much fun!  She loves to play outside, jump on the trampoline, read books, take baths, eat any dairy product she can get her hands on, and do whatever her siblings are doing.  She is a great talker and I love the cute way she says things.  She loves going to her nursery class at church now and her teachers say she is a lot of fun.

She also LOVES waldo.  In one of the waldo books she can find waldo quickly on every page because she has done it so many times.
