We started the morning out with some delicious chocolate chip pancakes.
Our next item on the agenda was supposed to be the morning at travel town. However, due to rainy weather, we had to change our plans. So we joined Anneli and Kalia at the Topanga mall for some play, shopping, and lunch. And let's be honest, a play area and carousel is almost the same as Disneyland for a 2 year old. Plus, I was able to shop Gap Maternity, so it was a win-win.
After naptime, Chase & I made cupcakes. Yes, I really did let him help, and he is a good helper.
Then off to dinner at Stonefire - what a great pick Chase!
After dinner we opened presents, and tried out the new bike.
Last was cupcakes - and Chase even blew out his own candles! And sang Happy Birthday to himself over and over.
Note to self for future birthdays - don't make your child open a bunch of new presents at the end of the day and then tell him he needs to go to bed. This is a formula for a nightime meltdown.
It was a great day. Fortunately, these Andersons celebrate birthday weeks, so there are more festivities awaiting...
