Birthday Party @ Rocky Creek Farm

We tried to prepare her for her birthday party by singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing candles out over our eggs in the morning. We talked about the Farm we were going to and that we'd go for a tractor ride and see pumpkins and have birthday cupcakes....for days we talked about this...And then the day came, she was so excited all morning, singing "Happy Birthday" to her babies, talking about the tractor and her cupcakes.... But then we got there and it was too much for her..she fell silent. In retrospect I think she had a fun time and she smiles when we talk about it. We tried to keep it very simple-pizza and cupcakes, no gift bringing was requested. We hung out by the tipi and picked raspberries and apples....and the weather actually held out for us!!! It was a very nice birthday celebration. Happy 2nd Birthday Madigan!



Tractor ride to the orchard and raspberries bushes:




Opening presents in the tipi-Madigan had no idea about ripping into the presents... She gently opened each one very slowly:
Birthday cake and singing. It was too windy so she didn't get candles:
Picking apples with Dad and friends:
