Ali's 2nd birthday is today. It is official. The Clements' home no longer has any babies! She was greeted this morning with a few birthday presents (a Weeble fire truck and some play princess jewelry) then 2 candles in her birthday pancake! Last night we made more cupcakes for her with blue frosting, per her request. We tried adding red food coloring to the blue to make purple but it turned out more like silver. We'll save those for Curt's birthday! ;-)
This morning she went to nursery school where they are having a big party for her. She took 20 cupcakes and her big sister, Mia. Mia still has many friends there as the nursery school goes up through Kindergarten (age 6 - 7). I let her skip French school as she really wanted to be with Ali at school to help celebrate.
After I pick Terence up from school, we will pick up the girls with 3 big helium balloons for Ali. Tonight we will celebrate at home as a family. I'll make her favorite dinner of salmon. Sides will be very strange as she likes some bazaar foods: pickles (she loves the little ones), cherry tomatoes, french fries, beans (either chickpeas, peas or the big white ones - still not sure). We'll have cake afterwards then she can open her main present. A big baby pram! She'll love pushing her babies (and Mia's) around the house.
Pictures of the girls' birthdays will be posted very soon. I had to send my camera in with Ali today so they could capture it all for me.
