Two (2) was an important number for Reilly on Saturday, July 12th..... not only did she turn 2 years old, but she had 2 birthday parties in one day! Here are Quinlan and Reilly enjoying the batter beaters and spatula from the cakes I was baking.

First, Reilly celebrated at Grandma and Grandpa Connor's house with her Connor cousins - Mina's birthday was Sunday. I baked and decorated a Tinkerbell (in case you couldn't figure it out) cake just for the occasion. She really wanted to blow out the candles on Mina's cake more..... there were 8 on Mina's and she only had 1.
Then it was off to Poppy's Lake to celebrate with the Reilly side of the family. Here is a picture of Mima holding Reilly so she can blow out that all important candle. Quinlan was on hand in case Reilly needed some assistance. We celebrated Barney's birthday too - his birthday was on Friday. Nothing fancy here..... just one half chocolate cake and one half white cake with some chocolate frosting and mini m&ms.

Yes, she was a birthday princess complete with crown and wand. Reilly calls them "La La"s (as in Cinderella). She was excited to have her own crown and wand and not just Quinlan's cast offs. At her 2 year check-up the Doctor said that she was "adorable and healthy". She is in just the 20th percentile of weight and height, but is proportional. Even the Doctor called her a "peanut". Oh well, good things come in small packages.
