Happy Birthday Morgan!

Today is Morgan's birthday!! She's two years old. She is such a special little girl. I love her so much. She is so happy and so loving. She is finally getting tubes put in her ears on the 23rd, so hopefully soon I'll actually be able to hear her say, "I love you, Mommy." She is so curious and I'm hoping now I will be able to start teaching her the things I've been putting off. If she couldn't hear correctly, I didn't want her to learn them the wrong way. I was afraid it might be hard to fix later. And I wasn't really that worried about it too much. She's only two. She has plenty of time to learn. And if she's anything like Kaelyn, she will learn them quickly too. We had her birthday party on Saturday. We had to have everything inside since there was still snow on the ground. Yes, we still had snow on the ground three days later! It was gone by the end of the day though. Morgan loves Elmo, so we had an Elmo themed party. Not too many people were able to come. Everyone is busy with Christmas stuff and some people who were planning to come were still without electricity and were at other family members' houses elsewhere. I guess it's kind of a good thing so we didn't have to cram all those people in my little house.

We had pb&j sandwiches and goldfish crackers. I put the goldfish in a fish bowl that I had. We also had nachos and spinach and artichoke dip. Yum!

I printed out some coloring pages for the kids.

I decorated using primary colors. I hung M's and 2's from the ceiling with fishing wire to make them look like they were floating. And I hung Elmo pictures all over the house.

Elmo Birthday Cake!

The cake wasn't so stressful this time. I was able to do all the detail decorations ahead of time because I used chocolate and fondant.

Grandma and Aunt Nowie had fun taking pictures of Jack. I think he was making funny faces when the flash went off.

They are posing for the camera. I came in at the end when they weren't really doing it anymore.

Happy Birthday to you, Morgan!!

We are all trying to tell her to blow out her candles. I meant to practice with her, but forgot.

She's going to try!

That's ok, big sister is here to help. Maybe next year.

Present Time! Kaelyn decided she wanted to open Morgan's cards and presents.

Mmmm! That cake was yummy!
