Norah's Terrific Two's!

Once again, Norah gave special meaning to the close of another year by celebrating her second birthday!  I was worried that her birthday would look much like Christmas to her, but this was simply not the case! We woke up singing 'Happy Birthday!' and didn't stop all day!  She picked out a special breakfast and then went disc golfing with Daddy and Uncle Sean while Mama caught a few hours of sleep.  When she got home it was party time.  The first doorbell ring brought a package all the way from Hawaii from Norah's Auntie Becky, which was followed by a few favorite faces.  Norah's friend Malachai and his baby brother Nadavi were here to celebrate with her.  Malachai helped Norah open her presents and break them in immediately.  They chased bubbles, pushed the shopping cart, had tea parties, cut up wooden fruit, put coins in a bank and read lots of neat new books!  
By the time the Birthday Cake came around Norah could hardly wait!  We all sang Happy Birthday with Norah and she did a great job of blowing out her candles (see the video below!)
There were many that were missed in person but felt in spirit!  Thank you all for being such a special part of Norah's life and making these two years the best years of our lives!
We are looking forward to this next year as Norah continues to discover and share even more of her amazing little self!

Norah wanted to wear all of her Christmas fleece at the same time... 
It's your Birthday, I say!!  Go for it!

A real shopping cart! 
(There were plenty of can collecting bag lady jokes... 
so far it's mostly Baby and Elephant that are getting a ride!)

A real baby in the real shopping cart!
Poor Nadavi doesn't know if he got bigger or the carts got smaller!
