We won't forget when the first snowfall of the season was this year...Ivy's birthday! She turned two today and she's getting so grown up. We had the families over on Sunday for cake and ice cream and a penguin themed party...so this snow goes along with that theme I suppose. Ivy got a lot of great gifts including some babies, a puzzle, backpack, cash register and shopping cart. It's fun to watch her play by herself with the babies, feeding and taking care of them. Her new puzzle has been keeping her occupied for longer periods of time than any of her other toys...mental note...buy more puzzles...
Today we decorated a yellow cake that we baked yesterday. Ivy helped spread the chocolate frosting and put some birthday hat candies on top...some of them got smashed into the cake, but that's just a fun surprise for whoever gets that piece.Then we sprinkled some flower confetti candy on top. Overall we had a good day, I was sad for Ivy that we couldn't go "side-a" to play on the swingset or out in the sandbox. The weather was extremely nasty most of the day and night. 
toodles...
