Kadence's Birthday day.

What a great birthday day celebration we had with Kadence.  Since our families both live away, the birthday celebrations last more like a week than a day.  We kicked off the celebration this last weekend when my mom, sister, niece, and nephew came to visit for the weekend (I will post pictures later).  The birthday extravaganza will not end until Sunday when Ryan's parents and sister Arin will be here for some birthday fun.  We did not plan a big birthday bash this year.  

On her 2nd birthday, sweet Kadence....

relaxed a little with her 8 balloon bouquet and new pink bear from Grandpa Ken and Grandma Debbie.  She was thinking she was pretty cool already!

She played outside on the beautiful, but very windy 60 degree and sunny day.  

We took a break from outside and went to the toy store where Kadence picked out her special birthday present-a Jessie doll (from Toy Story 2) and then went for a nice early dinner at Chili's.  

Since we had birthday cake last Saturday and will have more this Sunday, we opted for some Cold Stone ice cream for her birthday treat!  She picked M&M's and sprinkles to be mixed in with her ice cream!

We ended the evening video chatting with both grandparents and watching Dancing With the Stars.  Kadence danced around our living room as she watched-both of our kiddos actually like watching the dancing, which I take full advantage of!  Jessie did not leave her side the entire day and she insisted on bringing her to bed with her.  

What a great day!
