Penelope's 2nd birthday picnic quickly turned into an indoor celebration when the area was pummeled by thunderstorms and tornadoes as her party was about to begin. (No worries--we weren't directly hit and no damage was done near us.) Thanks to the party guests who braved the weather we had lots of fun celebrating inside, and we even got a bit of sunshine by the time the party was over!
For Penelope, the hardest part of having a birthday party was waiting for the guests to arrive (and keeping out of the cupcakes and presents before they came).
P watching the downpour and keeping a lookout for party guests.
Then chanting "Chora! Chora!" when she saw her best friend's car pull up.
Ready to welcome her guests.
Soon enough everyone had arrived, and it was time to be serenaded with "Happy birthday"
and figure out how to blow out those two candles.
"Yay for me!"
Then it was on to the presents
After opening a couple presents, Penelope had trouble focusing on the rest of the gifts. She just wanted to stop and play with her new things!
This was the last photo that was taken during the party because after this semi-calm moment of playing together all chaos broke out and suddenly kids were yelling and running in circles around the house--I guess that is the nature of 2-year-old birthday parties and the advantage of having a party in the park! Maybe next year.
Happy birthday Penelope!
We love you!
