Keira's 2nd Birthday

Keira turned 2 years old on November 29. We had a little party for her and she got all sorts of fun presents. We made apple crisp for her birthday

"cake" because, well, it sounded good. Keira also LOVES apples, so we thought she'd really get into this birthday treat. As it turns out, she really only likes fresh, raw apples...not cooked ones. So she ate all of her ice cream and the crispy oat topping.

Two of Keira's favorite people in the whole world are Amy and Madison Bennett. Amy tended Keira for about a year and Keira is always wanting to go back to Amy's house. Amy gave her this cute dress for her birthday, and Keira had to wear it while opening all her other presents.

Ryder is all over the place now. His favorite things are climbing stairs and playing in toilets. I walked by the bathroom the other day when I heard splashing noises. I walked into the bathroom to find Ryder splashing away, having the time of his life. He didn't have as much fun cleaning up.

Our potty training efforts have obviously been unsuccessful. At least we're finding some use for the new underwear we bought.

Mom and Dad with the

kids. Everyone is oh so excited to go to church. Keira loves nursery and runs to class, never looking back. Mom and Dad love nursery, too.
