Monkey business: MissE turns 2

I can't believe MissE turned 2 this week!  MissE was very excited in the lead up to her big day.  We would sing 'Happy Birthday' to Eloise, Sabi and Eloise again.  We also practiced blowing out her birthday candles with Christmas candles.

MissE had several days of Birthday Celebrations; here's what the little monkey got up to:

MissE's Official Birthday
I was still feeling guilty for working on her FIRST birthday, so this year, without my pesky job, she stayed home from daycare and we spent the day doing what MissE wanted to do.  This included a pancake breakfast, a swim at the local pool, cheeseburger (she is so my daughter) for lunch, babycino for afternoon tea, and Macaroni & Cheese for dinner.

MissE's daycare had a cake for her the day after her birthday.

MissE's Birthday Celebration #2
Due to the devastating Queensland Floods, Conor had to work and couldn't spend MissE's birthday with us.  So 2 days later, we headed to Balmoral Beach for a belated celebration.  MissE had a wonderful day playing in the sand.
And cue the Baywatch theme song...

Finally, we had a small family BBQ.  MissE spent the day playing with her cousins and of course, LET THEM EAT CAKE!
