Katelyn is 2!!

Katelyn turned two on Monday, August 24, and we had such a fun time celebrating! We started the day off with donuts from a local place we looooove...Katelyn's favorite there is a star-shaped donut with strawberry frosting and sprinkles! For lunch that day, we went to McDonalds. We have never actually taken her to McDonalds to eat a meal before, but for some reason, she has an obsession with it. Everytime we pass one she yells, "A Donalds! A Donalds!" What kind of marketing scheme do they have for toddlers that I don't know about?! She enjoyed her happy meal, time in the play area, and the company of her friend Reese! That night, we had neighbors over for strawberry cupcakes and pink lemonade in the front yard. Dave put up the swing that Mamaw and Peepaw (my parents) got her, and she has also been enjoying the wagon that Granny (Dave's mom) got her!

We had her actual birthday party this past Saturday, August 29th. It was a ladybug theme...just lots of ladybug things (cake, coloring pages, red/black stuff). We had it at a park with a duck pond and playground, so there was lots of fun to be had by all the kids! Here are some pictures and a couple videos (thank you to my sister Brittany for being our photographer and taking such awesome pictures!):

Katelyn looooved this card that played music! She still opens it at least 50 times a day to hear the song (and to ask mommy to sing along!)
