2 years old!

Eliana turned two on July 14th! It seems like time has flown by. She had quite a special week, that started with a trip to Cold Stone. Emily signed her up at the Cold Stone website and she got a free ice cream for her birthday. Eliana got sweet cream with sprinkles mixed in, or "candy" as she calls it.

We then had a mini-party on Wednesday, which was her actual birthday. Emily's parents came over for the evening and we opened presents. She still doesn't fully understand the concept of presents, and is most interested in taking the bows off. She started the get the hang of it, though. We had cupcakes--she requested these because she thinks that's what you're supposed to have at a birthday. Later in the week, we had a full party on Sunday with her aunts, uncles, and cousins coming over. We had pizza (again at her request) and more cupcakes.
