Terrific TWO - Part 2 of 3

Lily's actual birthday was action-packed and full of surprises. When our two-year-old woke up in the morning, she walked downstairs to find her new play kitchen! She didn't say a word, didn't jump up and down like we thought she would, she just walked right over and started cooking (which was even better). Then we had to tear her away to get ready for preschool, where Mommy brought blueberry muffins to celebrate with her class. Aunt Tara surprised us by meeting us for lunch at Lily's favorite place, "Chick-a-fay" (Chick-fil-a). Lily had requested a purple chocolate cake, so Mommy got crazy with the food coloring during naptime. Lily was anxious to dive right in, and she did manage to sneak a couple of bites before dinnertime. Dinner was her favorite spaghetti with our neighbor friends the Herndons, and then she and Austin and Avery played until she was so wound up she didn't fall asleep until 11:00! All in all I would call it a very successful birthday, but I'm glad she doesn't eat chocolate cake every day. :}
