We (I) had hoped to get these pics from the weekend of Grace's 2nd birthday (July 1st) posted by the weekend that followed it, but of course our plans changed quickly when we went to the hospital on the evening of July 8th! :) And for the better part of the past week since we've been home, the home PC was on the fritz. So we are playing a bit of catch-up!
We had a wonderful weekend full of fun for the big 2!! Aunt Evie came to visit us from Portland, which was wonderful! On her actual birthday, Chris took the day off from work, and we had a fun day of opening a few gifts, going to dinner at Fork, opening more gifts (!), and finishing the day playing outside.
She is a little fish, so Grandpa got her some water shoes for the pool.

Thank you Aunt Evie for the cute bug finger puppet and for coming to stay.

"Now what shall I order?" The birthday girl settled for a grilled cheese and fries.
She really liked the birthday card that her cousin Anna made for her -
she is still pointing to it on the door and saying 'Anna?'.

The end of a big day... we took this at 8:04pm, the time she was born at 2 years ago.
On Saturday, we had a family pool party with pizza, cake and ice cream.
Her Dad made a chocolate cake with root beer/chocolate frosting - yum!

Wrapped up in her new polka-dot beach towel from Lilah and the kids.
On Monday, the Fourth of July, we went to ZooBoise.
One of the highlights was the butterfly exhibit there this summer.
She liked all the different colors of butterflies there to see.

In the prairie-dog tunnel with Daddy.
