Two Years Old!

Ella turned two on June 8, and I still can't believe that I have a 2 year old. It was really fun being able to celebrate her birthday with my family in California. I was SO excited for her to open her presents, probably more excited then she was! She got dress ups, and a big purse that held four pairs of dress up shoes. The shoes were definitely a favorite of hers, she wears them everyday. She also loved her mini stroller, she pushes that thing around with her everywhere and is so sad when she can't take it with her in the car. She also got.....get this...a potty. I am not looking forward to the whole potty training thing, and if anyone has any advice I would love it!! I got a Dora potty (she loves dora) so I am hoping that will help me out in some way.
Okay so I am so proud of the way her cake turned out! (Thanks mom and Kar for helping)I am NOT crafty in any way so this was pretty good for me. It was so fun to make and I am seriously in love with it. The best part is that Ella was so excited when she saw it, she loved it.
I couldn't resist putting one of Ella's bows in her hair...

That is so funny that you made a cake like that for her. My mom used to always make those cakes for us when we were young. I actually was planning on making one for Kamryn on her birthday. I think they are so cute! Happy Birthday!

that's such a cute cake ! so- after having potty trained 2 kiddo's already the best thing i did was have them walk around 24/7 without any underwear OR diapers on- yes- bukket :) (mind you i had to stay indoors for like a week to achieve this, but it worked!) along with sticker charts, and really cute undies that they got to pick out- i guess boys are supposed to be harder than girlies, but both mine were potty trained at 2- one more to go.....
