Lilly Kate turned 2 on May 22nd and it was like she got some secret memo about being a 2 year old. She has always been into everything and a high energy 1 year old but on her birthday she decided that saying NO to everything is hilarious! On the other hand she has started talking a lot and now she is not near as frustrated about trying to tell us what she wants.
We had a great day and we celebrated with a cookout and a visit from Patrick's family. This year I was determined to make a cake that tasted and looked like all the cakes at other Birthday parties. I know this makes me sound like a bad cook but it is because of Margaret Anne's allergies I have to be creative in making a cake. I have gotten better over the past 4 years and this cake had the look and the taste.
Here is an example of her new independence she got 2 new nightgowns and she was determined to wear both and actually she's still convinced this is the way to wear them.

WEEEE! IF you need a gift for a toddler I would highly recommend this roller coaster it actually kept the entire cookout entertained
