Lola Turns Two!

I can't believe it was two years ago that I was in the delivery room with Jeff and Amy watching little Lola come into this world.  We all thought she was so beautiful, but I think she just keeps getting more beautiful.  Plus, she has been so much fun!  Now, here she is turning two! 

Amy had decorated the room so special for Lola.

And she got Lola her own little Dora cake.

Craig and Cassie just returned from their 8-day cruise, so they were excited to come to the party with Riley.  They were here last year for Lola's birthday.  We need to make this an annual occasion!

Riley loved the balloons.

And Lola loved having someone play in her kitchen with her.  (Usually it's Jeff or me!  Riley was much more fun because he actually fit inside!)

Lola wanted to show Riley her present that she already opened!  What fun this will be now that it's getting nicer weather!

Lola even let Riley take her baby for a walk.

We then had a wonderful dinner Amy prepared.

Now, it was birthday cake time.  Lola wasn't quite sure what to do when the candle was lit.

Isaac and George tried to show her.

Then Garrett came in on the scene to try to help her.

Finally, the candle was out--but I don't think it was by Lola.

Don't tell Lola to say "cheese." 

Lola got her very own Hello Kitty DVDs.  I'll bet her mommy watches them as much as she does!

Don't you love the expression of what was in the big packages--only clothes?  But her mom was surely happy!  Silly Grandmas that pick out clothes for birthday gifts!

But Riley clapped politely . . .

And Lola still thanked Papa and Grandma for the gifts.  Thank you, Lola, for being such a fun little granddaughter.  We had a great time at your party!
