Lydia turns 2!

Our activity for Lydia's birthday this year was a trip to Build-a-Bear. Amanda and Jared had gone a few years ago, and so this time it was Lydia and Curtis's turn to pick a special critter. The options were overwhelming, but in the end Lydia got a koala and Curtis got a monkey. However, the birthday evening had just begun. Our next stop was a visit to one of Mom's very dear friend from high school. She and her family graciously let us join them for dinner and a little cake party for Lydia. Here's Lydia getting ready to blow out the candles (with a little help):

And here she is pleased with the finished result:

Hooray for Lydia!
