A week after we got back we threw Audrey a little birthday party with mostly family and few friends with toddlers in Provo at the park down the street. We made play dough, had ice cream sundaes, did a homemade bean bag toss game (that I will have to take pictures of and post it), played on the park, and visited with the people we missed over the summer. Audrey got spoiled with gifts, but otherwise she didn't seem to have any idea that the party was for her. In fact when the attention was on her she was very straight faced and quiet. She had a great time though and we are so happy we got celebrate her again!! We love our little two year old!!!

| corn starch and conditioner to make play dough! thanks mom! |
 |
| it was definitely a hit with the kids AND adults! |
 |
| you can see the bean bag toss in the background. the men turned it into a game of hack-e-sac (sp?) while we made play dough |
 |
| we did candles in her ice-cream instead of a cake |
 |
| the best gift of all- auntie sam coming to visit for the weekend! |
 |
| she's stunned at how beautiful these shoes are. just speechless. |
 |
| she got a Cinderella dress from mariah and ross! |
 |
| her dramatic pose- like the ads for the new cinderella movie! you can see andrew in the background rubbing his head. he knows he's going to be in foreign territory for most of his parenting life (till he gets a son). |
 |
| when she saw herself in the mirror |
 |
| we had to teach her how to lift up the hoop in the shirt so she could walk with it bouncing behind her like a big bum- just like the stepsisters in the movie! |
Now that Audrey is a big girl- that's what happens when you turn two you know- she has upgraded to a big girl toddler bed! When Andrew brought it home I don't know who was more excited, me or her. She kept saying "My whole new bed!" like the song "Whole New World" we've been singing. Soon after it just turned into "My whole bed, my whole bed!"
It's just SO CUTE!! We got it off of ksl.com for a great price and it came with Tinkerbell bedding (which we washed several times, don't worry). She now sleeps in it all night, only having gotten out of it once. Just last night actually. A few minutes after we put her to bed we heard her door open and her saying, "K, I took a nap!" It was the first and hopefully last battle of her being able to get out of bed herself.
The excitement was just indescribable:
