Our little (not so little anymore) girl turned 2 on Friday, July 24th, 2009! So crazy! We were in Huntsville for the weekend and woke up at Oma and Oupa's house on Jayda's birthday. Early that morning I headed out to good ole' Wal-Mart to get Jayda a birthday card and wrapping paper and went to Shipley's to get her donuts for her birthday! She enjoyed donuts and strawberry milk (didn't really like that too much) then headed off to play at the Gibbs playground with Daddy. I drove up to meet them and we played and played at the playground and checked out the Gibbs garden. We found some pretty flowers and even a watermelon! I picked the watermelon and brought it home hoping it would be nice and sweet, but it wasn't. It was actually awful! Oh well, it was fun anyway! After getting home from the park Jayda got all dressed up and opened some of her birthday presents. She got clothes, make up, and the Candy Land game. She loved her glitter lip gloss and was trying to put it on everyone, including daddy and Oupa. Later that day I looked at Jacob and noticed several sparkles in his goatee, so funny! After presents Jayda helped me make her rainbow sprinkles birthday cake. She loves to help cook, and especially taste test! The cake turned out delicious. She of course mainly just liked the icing! Jayda then took a long nap with daddy while my mom and I went out to the Paschal's house to get the water slide set up. They brought it out early Friday afternoon and didn't come back to get it until sunday afternoon! I thought that was pretty nice. After getting the slide set up we headed back to good ole' Wal-Mart to buy all of the food for Jayda's party the next day. Jacob and Jayda came up to meet us there after she woke up from her nap and she had a blast running around Wal-Mart while mommy and Oma shopped. We bought a ton of stuff then went back out to the Paschal's to unload all of the goodies! The rest of the evening was spent preparing for the party: chopping onions and tomatoes, setting up all of the party decorations, putting together party favors, blowing up baby pools, putting together Jayda's new barbie car, hanging streamers and the list goes on and on! I have to give a big shout out to all of our lovely friends and family that helped set everything up: Jude, Lindsay, Klint, Brandy, Kristi, Oma, Oupa, Nanna, Pawpaw, you guys are amazing and we couldn't of done it without you! Thanks also to Nanna and Pawpaw for grilling chicken for everyone and providing us with a great dinner! Finally we all went to sleep that night between 12-1:00 a.m.
"It's my birhday!!" Eating donuts and excited that she is now 2!!
