Silje's Two!

Silje turned two!

The night before Kris and I blew up a bunch of balloons so she would have something festive when she got up in the morning.  Here is her reaction to the balloons.



At breakfast she got to eat in her brand new chair from Grandma.  She loves it.  Stian has one and she liked sitting in his, and now she has one of her own.  Such a big girl!


Later she opened presents and got to play with this awesome zoo set from Grandma and Grandpa.  She really likes this set.


Although her favorite present might just be this little motorcycle.  This girl loves motorcycles.  Hopefully that love wears off long before she's old enough to actually get on a motorcycle.


We invited the neighborhood over for cupcakes in the afternoon and lots of people came.  It was fun for us to chat with neighbors, some we had never met before, and for the kids to have someone to play with.  Silje wasn't overly impressed with my cupcakes.  But she gobbled up the strawberries we had bought at the farmers' market that morning.


Here's Silje and Ollie.  Not the best picture.  But Ollie lives on our street and is in Silje's class as school.


And here's the birthday girl looking so grown up at age 2!

I LOVE all the pictures -- especially the one of her singing "Happy Birthday Silje". Looks like they both loved the balloons - and what a great idea to invite the whole neighborhood for cupcakes.
You guys are awesome parents!! And you have a couple of awesome kids.

Love you all,
Grandma Loftus
