baby turns toddler

Ansley turned 2 today. Time sure does fly...too fast. This girl loves attention and soaked it all in on her big day. We started our day off with a now traditional birthday breakfast...pancakes in the shape of the number they are turning.
Then we headed to the zoo as a family (Jason got to take the day off). It was a bit rainy but the kiddo's had a blast.
Then we had a birthday dinner that night with flower cupcakes for dessert. Ansley did great at blowing out her candles...she had lots of practice at our church's candlelit Christmas Eve service where she blew my candle out at least 3 times during the singing of Silent Night.

And with all the practice at Christmas time, she was a champ at ripping through her packages.Here she is sporting all her new loot. Notice the two purses...because one just isn't enough.
