Two More Years

Lily is officially 2 years old!! We celebrated Lily's birthday this weekend with a small party and accumulation of many more toys!! Lily had fun partying with her friend Hayley, who enthusiastically assisted Lily with opening her gifts! She has added to her fleet with a tricycle (courtesy of Grandma Gail and Grandpa Tom), and a scooter from the parents. She loves the tricycle, she isn't so sure about the scooter - we hope to have her on it by her 3rd birthday. Grandpa Maurice and Grandma Phyllis gifted her with a water and sand table which Lily loves, and which will most definitely require a bath after use. She also added to her indoor collection with an easel (from Cousin Emilie), games (from Great Aunt Donna and Great Uncle Stephen), dollhouse (from Great Aunt Paula and Great Uncle John), a wooden train and Little Engine That Could Book (from Poppa Syd and Grandman Essie) and vaccuum (from A. Kelly). Blue's Clues cake and ice cream was had by all.

Needless to say, we needed Sunday to check out all of the new toys, and recover from the festivities.

After a weekend of partying, things have finally quieted down and Lily is back at school teaching the 1 year olds in her class a thing or two... Enjoy the pictures and video.

Oh, Lil also wanted to wish a happy birthday to Cousin Stephanie.
