In June Alma celebrated her second birthday! Her actual birthday wasn't the most exciting evening since Dan and I had to work but we did have a very private party for her in the evening. We invited our dear friends, the Jarolimek family, to our house for a pancake dinner. At the time pancakes was one of the only foods that our very picky eater would actually consume. So it was pancakes and eggs all around! At the ripe old age of two Alma is very interested in books. Her favorite activity is story time and she frequently comes scooting our way with a book in her hand. She loves to sit on your lap for a good story. In the spirit of this most of Alma's birthday presents were books. We also bought her her very own couch to sit on while she reads. This wasn't such a huge hit, as it turns out she is afraid of Lightning McQueen. Luckily, with time she has gotten over that!
Here is Alma and her Auntie Gretta enjoying a good book!
Harper thought he would help Alma open up her gifts, which was good, because she kept getting distracted by trying to eat the tissue paper.
Hadrian looks on, longingly, waiting for his first birthday party.

I baked red velvet cupcakes for Alma instead of a cake. I really do not think this was such a great idea. Turns out, red velvet cake and two years old children is somewhat of a recipe for disaster :) Happy two years to my little cupcake!
