Alanna turned two on November 14. I know I say this every year on each of my kids' birthdays, but really, I can not believe how fast this year went by.
The night before her birthday, Ruy made Alanna a birthday banner. He worked so hard on it. It was so cute and special. When she woke up on her birthday, I went into her room singing "Happy Birthday". She asked for cake :) Then we started out her birthday with chocolate chip banana bread and some coloring.
Nathan had to work some that morning so we spent the morning at home and played outside on our playground for a while. Alanna loves swinging so much.
Before heading to Ruy's soccer game, I took a few pictures of Alanna and the rest of the kids.
Then we went and cheered for Ruy at his last soccer game of the season. Alanna always claps and says "go Ruy".
Alanna was so tired by the time we got home and she doesn't handle missing her nap very well, so I put her down for a nap. After she got up we ate Spaghetti for dinner (her favorite meal) and then had cake and opened presents. She blew out her candle all by herself. She loved opening presents. She got her first doll house and I think the boys may have liked it as much as she did :)
It was a great second birthday. We are so thankful for the two years we have had with Alanna and can't wait to see what this next year with Alanna will bring!
