2 Years, Week 1

 

After all the party fun was done, it was time to celebrate another special occasion, Mother's Day!  It was nice to have Grandma here still visiting (and PaPa too!) to help make the day extra fun!  In addition to having all the outside flowers planted, Livi also painted me some pretty wind

chimes.  Her handmade gifts are the best!

 

Since Livi loves to play in the water so much, Josh and I decided to buy her a water table for her birthday.  Luckily the weather warmed back up this week so she could try it out.  I think it was a hit!  Any time she can make a mess and not get in trouble for doing so, she's a happy camper!

All that hard work playing sure works up an appetite.  But, you better watch your plate or Livi might take your dinner.  I guess sometimes you just can't wait for Mom or Dad to cut your chicken up for you!

A week after Livi's birthday, it was time to head north for Grandma Sue's birthday.  First order of business was helping Grandma plant some flowers (and who doesn't garden in a tutu?).  Grandma bought her a special planter and watering can.  Livi is excited to watch them grow over the summer.

After a fun day of planting, we went out for dinner.  Grandma is an amazing cook, but she definitely deserved a night off!  Grandma's big gift was a family vacation for all of us and Uncle Drew and Aunt Lisa to Gatlinburg this summer.  A gift everyone can enjoy!

As an added bonus, we snuck in a trip to the Dunes.  This little girl LOVES the beach!  The water was still a little cold, so she mostly stuck to building sandcastles.

 

That's Ms. Attitude to you.  Livi went shopping with me earlier this week so she could pick out a birthday present for Grandma Sue.  While I was picking out a few options for Livi to choose from, she took the opportunity to accessorize.  And this is the face I got when I tried to take her picture.  Oh Livi, this next year should be interesting!
