Audrey's 2nd Birthday!

Audrey is 2!  Saturday we celebrated her birthday with friends at Gymboree.

Most of the kids were two as well.  Here's Audrey with her friends, Anna, Isaac, Caroline, and Ruby.
We sort of got all the kids together here, Laia, Aamirah and Kamron joined us, but then I couldn't get Caroline and Ruby in the picture!
Enjoying a little cake!  Sadly I didn't take pictures, but we also made mini pizza's with faces on them, dinosaur nuggets, chicken croquettes and fruit screwers.  
Audrey REALLY enjoyed her cupcakes...Mom, Dad and Grandma made "Very Berry" cupcakes and shaped them into a fish.  Thanks Angie for the recipe!
Blowing out the candles with the help of Daddy.

Audrey mesmerized by the bubbles!

Thanks to all who made Audrey's birthday a success.  I really feel blessed to have such a wonderful family and great friends.  Enrico and I always say to each other, we can't believe how great parenthood has been.  There are challenges, but even the challenges are rewarding.  We're striving to raise a responsible, capable and loving human being...and I feel good that over the last two years we've been able to learn and grow along with Audrey.  She's now talking and exploring the world around her...and through her we are gaining a new appreciation for the beauty of the world.
