Taylie's 2nd birthday!
Taylie turned 2 years old on Dec 2. We had a little get together for her with her Grandparents and aunts and uncles. Since we just had Luke 2 weeks before we decided that a big party with everybody all at once would be overwhelming, so we had everybody come in shifts. We had a family dinner and then did her cake and our present for her before everybody else got there.
in my family it is a tradition to do a Cookie Monster cake for the 1st birthday, this year we decided to do a Elmo cake (or "melmo", as she calls him...) since he was her favorite character for the moment. Even though his eyes look really freaky, she knew who he was supposed to be.
she did a pretty good job trying to blow out the candle, she was able to get it with some help from daddy.
mmmm....cake! all she really did was eat the frosting and leave the cake.
this is what we got her, it is a barn complete with animal noises. She got a bunch of other good stuff too because she is constantly getting spoiled by her aunts and uncles and grandparents. We didn't get many pictures of anything else because we had a little poop situation that I was cleaning up while she was playing and opening presents.
Christmas 2008
We had a pretty sad christmas this year. On the 23rd, Tayli came down with something that resembled chicken pox, but couldn't be 100% confirmed as that being what it was. The poor thing was misrable for a week. She was running high fevers and just didn't want to do anything. On Christmas morning, we asked her if she wanted to open her presents and she just said, "No." and laid on the couch and watched movies all day. It took quite a bit of coaxing to get her to open presents. The process took all day long!!! This picture was taken a few days after the worst of it was over. She loves the movie "Elf" with Will Ferrell. She calls it the "ho ho movie". So we didn't get any pictures of Christmas because it was so scattered and she was not interested, that when we got her to open something we had no time to grab the camera. We may have to steal some of Aunt Megan's pictures, I think she got some good ones....

Cute little cake...though I agree with you, the eyes are a bit creepy.
So sad that she didn't really get the chance to open presents in a continuous motion on Christmas. Poor girl! Glad she is better now!
