Hallee is a toddler?

I said something about Hallee being two-years-old now and Wyatt yelled, "Hallee is a toddler now?"  Funny kid.

We filled the front room with balloons for Hallee's birthday. Hallee was so excited when she came out and saw all of them.

All of the kids had fun playing with them.

After they played in the balloons for a while we went in and opened presents.  Hallee was really excited about opening presents. 

This is the first time that I can remember that I didn't have birthday presents ready and waiting long before their birthday.  I was drawing a complete blank.  I finally found some things on Amazon that I thought she would like.  We used our credit card rewards and ordered hers and Wyatt's presents for free! 

I also don't remember a time where our kids have loved their presents so much, even days later.  We got her this adorable purse and picnic basket.  She loves to carry things around.  She is constantly saying, "where's my purse?"   She wants to take her purse and basket everywhere!

After we played inside for a little while we headed outside to play.  We set up the little pool in the back yard.  Hallee loved holding the hose while we filled it up.

Caitlyn and Jonah had a great time in the pool. 

Wyatt loved going down the slide into the water.

It was so hot, so I got in the water with the kids.  The water was freezing, but it felt so good!

Wyatt was so happy all day.  He loves playing outside!

The kids had fun painting with water on the cement.  I saw this idea a while ago and thought it was the best idea ever.  No mess!

But, I guess everything is more fun with a mess!  They started making paint out of chalk and had a great time painting with that for a while.

Hallee and Wyatt helped me make cookies the night before.  Hallee said she wanted birthday cookies instead of cake. 

Hallee was very happy with her cookies and ice cream cones! It was fun to spend time together and celebrate with Hallee.
