Birthday Girl

We had a few birthday celebrations for Miss Kendall, but decided not to have a big birthday party for her.  We celebrated with Trophy Cupcakes when Grandma Sue was here, and then decided a family swimming day would be the perfect way to celebrate with her.  We did this for Ryan's 2nd birthday, and thought little fish Kendall would love it too.

Kendall did not get the whole birthday concept at all, until the cupcakes came out that is.  Once she made that connection she wall all about "Dendall's birfday".  She was so excited about the cupcakes that she climbed on the table.

 
And then tried to blow out her candles.

When she couldn't figure out how to get that flame out her big brother helped.  Enough already, there were cupcakes to be eaten!

Our swimming adventure was so fun.  David took the two older kids in while Natalie and I sat on the sidelines.  After her snack we joined in the fun, too.

Tuckered out.

 Ryan LOVED everything about being in the water.  Kendall loved it, too, but does not like to be splashed which made things a little challenging since the place was packed on a Sunday afternoon.  The birthday girl did have fun, though.

When we got home we had "PEET-ZZAAA", Kendall's favorite and more cupcakes!  It was fun to watch her open her gifts this year.  She really got into it, and loved her Hokey Pokey Elmo.  She even had to blow him kisses before bedtime.  Have I mentioned how sweet she is?

So excited to have her very own Ichiro shirt...

and Mariner hat.  Thanks, Ryan!

Hello, Elmo I'm Kendall.
