Ann's 2nd Birthday!!

I have no idea how Ann has become this big. My little girl is 2 YEARS OLD!! She truly seems like a little girl too. I decided that i could make her birthday really cute but i wanted it to be something she enjoyed. I have no idea why but she loves rubber ducks. My sister Cindy and i went a little crazy with the theme and decided to have some fun! Thanks mom for making birthdays such a fun day when we were little, my parents never had tons of money but birthdays were always super special. It all started with a duck invitation i made silly little duck cut outs and put her invites on them. She was more happy to pass them out to people than i dreamed of. She was having " a rubber duck party" When she passed them out she would say in the third person because Ann only refers to herself in the third person" Ann having rubber duck party you comin?" If duck or party was mentioned she would compulsively tell you about how Ann is having a rubber duck party.

For her birthday we got her a trampoline(thank you tax refund :-)). We just decided we really needed something outside for her to play with and it was the same amount as a little swing set she would grow out of. Scott had a trampoline for almost 20 years and kids of all ages use it. We thought if we were going to spend money on something why not get something that would last.

If you can't tell from the picture she LOVES it!! She has so much fun. She rolls around on it and jumps and we put the sprinkler on it. It is so fun to see her enjoy it!

Great Grandma Syracuse sent Ann the most adorable gift. She loves Abby cadabby from sesame street. Grandma send it to her and i will try and post the video tomorrow it is getting a little late but she was so excited to see it. It can got in the bath with her. That night she took a bath and didn't want any other toy but her abby-dabby as Ann says. We would wash her hair and Abby's. Ann was so excited she could go "swimming" and cried when she had to leave it to dry. A few minuets and a couple of tears later Abby was wrapped up in a towel and Ann was helping her dry off.

Sorry it is late i will post more from the rubber ducky party tomorrow. to be continued....
