The highlight of this two-year-old's day was definitely the candles.
We had a birthday preview the week before with the family in Roosevelt.
Grandma Trudy made cupcakes and put two candles in for Dev to blow out.
After that her birthday was all about blowing out the candles. When she
woke up the morning of her birthday I told her happy birthday and she starting blowing,
so I let her have candles in her muffins. We had plans to get together
with some friends during the day, but Devri came down with croup the day
before so we just stayed home and took it easy. Although, she was sick
we had a really good day. She was so cute and spent most of the day
talking about her "happy happy" and showing me how to blow out candles.
Our friends Sean and Jessica came for birthday dinner and
cake. Thankfully they stayed a while and Sean and Colby assembled all of
her presents. It was such a fun day and we're so thankful for our
"happy happy" two-year-old!This is a short video on my camera of Dev blowing out the candles. The longer version on the video camera had us all laughing. After all of her excitement and anticipation about blowing out the candles she was a little nervous to get very close so it took us a long time to blow out candles. When she finally blew them out, Colby lit them again and we started over. I think we spend 15 minutes blowing out candles. :)
