Saralyn's birthday was on Sunday and I am still having a hard time believing she is already 2! But she had a blast, as soon as she realized the cake and the balloons were for her. The cake (posted below) was awesome. However, we were up until about 2:30 making it (by we, I mean Amanda was actually working, I was watching and trying not to mess anything up). Anyway, of course, Saralyn woke up at about 2:00 AM, and I'm pretty sure she thought it was time to be awake because usually when she wakes up in the middle of the night she finds me in bed, not in the kitchen with all the lights on. Well, I tried to keep her away so she didn't see the cake, but it didn't work. She was in awe. And when we finally decided to go to bed and finish in the morning, she was very upset because she did not get to eat any! I thought it was pretty funny... well I though it was funny in the morning after I had some sleep! Here are some pictures of the celebrating.
This was her face when she first saw her bike
When she was opening her other presents and saw what is was, it was always accompanied with a very energetic "YAAAYYYY!!!" Even with the cards! it was great :)
She thought the sunglasses were great and she HAD to have them on while riding her bike..too cute!
Alma was right there eager and willing to help if Saralyn showed any signs of needing help with opening her gifts. She's such a good big sis!
We missed having family around because for the past two years we have had a lot of family for the birthdays. But we got to talk to all of them over the computer using SKYPE and we also enjoyed having our friends there to celebrate with us!
