Second Birthday and the Zoo

Here are a handful of pics from Rayna's second birthday.

Again, hard to believe how fast time is flying...

I would like to open this present next...

Am I cute or what?!

My special day = my special plate.
I also got to eat what I wanted to... mac & cheese and hot dog!

Beautiful!

Taking a picture next to my tree. :)

Reading in my tent with my friends Brooklynn and Brighton

I got a new car for my birthday. I have figured out the accelerator pedal just fine.
"Bet you can't catch me, mommy!"

Mom & Dad say I have a habit of looking in the wrong direction though.

We went to Indianapolis this weekend to visit with family.
Here's a pic from the drive.

Took a day to visit the Indianapolis Zoo with Grandpa Kevin, Grandma Liz, and Aunt Lauren.
I like turtles. :)

A little bored on the drive home...hiding under the newspaper!

Rayna's Second Year

Here's the video we put together highlighting Rayna's second year.
Hard to believe how much she's grown up over the last year!

Never too early to start. :)

Hodge Podge of Pics since Christmas

Start at the bottom of this post and work your way up...

if you want to see them in chronological order. :o)

We had spaghetti for dinner the other night, followed by
chocolate pudding for dessert. I was a mess...but loving it!

I love reading books in my tent that Santa brought me.

Playing with my flash cards always has to include
being inside a laundry basket. Weird, I know!

We made play-doh one day during Christmas break.

This is me at my art table that I got from Grandma and Grandfather Gores.

Tub fun with my cousin Eli ("Lie Lie")Reading books with my Grandfather.

Eli and I loved playing in the tent. Don't you love my hair-do too!

I was excited to see Mommy when she got here!
