Cake and Presents

I think Gabriella was exhausted yesterday since we've been celebrating her birthday most of the week, but there's always room for cake and presents! She woke up from her nap to this loot, she spotted it right away. 

 It didn't take her very long to start opening everything.

 Cake for Gabi's 2nd birthday.

I bought trick candles (mistakingly) they were a hit! She thought they were hilarious. 

Playing with her new toys!

Playing with Dad.

Gabi is saying everything we say right now, she talks all the time. She loves to play, eat, color, read books, and stickers right now.  Pretty much she's become all toddler over the last year! Happy birthday again Gabriella, we love you!
