Genevieve's 2nd Birthday

Can you believe it?! Baby girl turned 2 on Saturday. I am pretty sure these have been the fastest 2 years of my life. Someone explained it perfectly to me recently by saying this time as a stay-at-home-mom consists of SLOW days but lightning fast years. I couldn't agree more.
Anyway we decided to take the kids to the mall for Genevieve's birthday since they always have a good time there. They played on the indoor playground, had lunch at the food court, rode on some quarter rides and even got to see "Cat in the Hat" and give him a high-five. In the evening, we had some friends over for dinner and everyone had cupcakes in Genevieve's honor.
Can you find her cupcake in this picture? It's kind of hiding.
On Sunday I put the finishing touches on her birthday cake. Genevieve loves the color orange, so I made the doll's dress orange. I was happy that she was so excited about the cake and called it a "princess."
At Grandma and Grandpa's house, Becca and I smile with the birthday girl and her cake.
Blowing out the candle.
Yum, yum, yum.
Genevieve is sporting her new backpack and checking out her new armoire full of dress-up clothes.
Someone else likes dressing up too.
Later Grandpa, Sebastien and Rita did a puzzle.

We love you Genevieve!! ...and we can't wait to see how you handle your terrible twos!
