Yesterday our sweet baby girl turned 2 years old. I couldn't help but remember back to the day she was born. After 2 false trips to the hospital, 28hours of labor & 45min of pushing, our miracle little girl arrived. She was so gorgeous! I can't believe she's 2 years old now! It seems like just yesterday we were taking her home for the 1st time!
Garyn had to work yesterday but Rya did wake up as he was getting dressed so he was able to wish her a Happy Birthday. When we got up at 9am I made Rya some biscuits with peanut butter for breakfast & let her play outside all morning. She came in for some lunch & we played till naptime. She fell asleep about 15min before Garyn got home & slept until almost 6pm. Time to get ready for some fun! We let her open a few gifts before we left.
We took her to Amazing Jake's for some pizza & games. She was so good during dinner. After dinner it was present time! I love it that she actually opened her gifts! Mommy & Daddy got her a new baby doll, a Disney Princess indoor tent & PJ's. She got some adorable clothes & 1st Bible Stories book from my Grandma. That's just what she opened at the restaurant.
Cake time! I baked a red velvet cake for her & frosted it with vanilla frosting. Garyn decorated it. We had to improvise since we didn't have the right tools to do a great job. But it still turned out cute & was delicious! We did sing Happy Birthday to Rya at the restaurant. She tried to blow out her candle.
After all that, Rya was so anxious to go look at all the awesome games & lights! We thought she'd enjoy going on a few of the rides. I took her on the Merry-go-Round 1st. She really liked just sitting on the horse but once it started going she had the scared look on her face. That then turned into crying & calling for Daddy. We thought we'd try one more ride so I took her on the teacups. The ride didn't even start before she started crying. No more rides after that. Guess it'll be awhile before we take her to Disneyland.
She didn't like the rides but loved the games! Basketball with Mommy & Daddy & a car ride with Daddy. We played some games to get her some tickets. Since it was her birthday, she got 200 tickets for free then we added a few to it also. She got a few little prizes but we saved most of her tickets because we know we'll go back again someday.
She was so good when it was time to go home. Just followed Garyn out the door. Hayden was great the entire time! Just chilled in his stroller & even fell asleep. Once home, she had a few more gifts to open including an adorable pair of DC shoes Garyn picked out for her. They fit great & are so cute!
Rya had such a great birthday! She gave me a hug & said thank you at the restaurant & it made me cry! I wanted her special day to be great & it was everything I was hoping it would be! She's such an incredible little girl & we are truly blessed to have her in our lives! We love her so much & can't wait to celebrate even more birthdays. My little girl is growing up so fast!
I miss her being a baby! At least we have baby Hayden! Rya's such an amazing toddler! I love you so much, Rya Michele!
