Sophia's birthday fell on a weekday, so while I was at work in the morning her daddy took her to the ZOO!!!
At lunch Sophia got a DQ icecream cake!
And her present from mommy and daddy
Cake! After the cake we all went to the swimming pool for a bit before Travis had to go to work...but, we had so much fun I forgot to take pictures :)
Practicing
Sophia loved her card from Grammy and Pop pop! She's a sucker for the stickers!
For dinner we had a picnic celebration with leftover ice cream cake at Travis' work
After dinner mommy and Sophia had some quality park-time!
The FAIR! We hit the animatronic dino display first (Sophia wasn't so sure about the dinos!)

We made up for the scary dinos with some familiar animals...PONIES!
Sophia had 2 absolute favorite things at the fair: This choo-choo ride....
And the petting zoo! She was very fearless with all the animals, and fed each one all by herself!
See the rosy cheeks? It was over 90 degrees that day! Ick... Oh well, we still had fun!
After the fair (this is all on the Saturday after Sophia's birthday) Travis took Sophia to Dino Playland in the mall while mommy frantically prepared for the PARTY!!!
Sunday the 11th...PARTY DAY! (And happy 26th b-day to brother Chris on that day! We were thinking of you!)
I had to take a couple of pics to document my hard labor in the kitchen :)
Sophia chose a Winnie the Pooh theme! She's wild about Pooh right now...
We had the party at the Splash Park in Grand Forks again...lucked out with another beautiful birthday day!
Sophia with her cousin Gabby and our cousin, Maddie
Magdalene, Maddie, Sophia, Gabby and Jaylin! Sophia had the cutest Pooh/Tigger hat!
Aunt Kathy with our cousin Maura's daughter, Mairi...still the youngest of the clan! (Super chic mama Maura in the background) :)
With cousin Gunner
The crew at lunch! THANK YOU to Ralph and Carmen for grilling!
Sophia is blessed to have many great-grandparents...here she is with great grandma Snookie!
It was too windy to try to put her candle on the cake...grandpa lit the #2 candle and let Sophia have it QUICK before the wind could get it!
We had strawberry shortcake again! YUM!
Sophia's mischievous cousins gave her table confetti, and Sophia painstakingly stuck it all in her strawberry shortcake!
Sophia loved opening her presents, and her cousins were such good helpers! Thank you to everyone for all the lovely gifts!!!
With her godfather, Brandon
Sophia loves a doll set from Snookie and Cash...she even named the baby doll! She named her Ella, and calls her "baby Ella" and is STILL playing with her constantly! In fact, she takes Ella in her stroller when we walk the dogs, and then walks Ella in Ella's stroller around the block almost every night!
Right after we left the party Sophia fell asleep with Ella in the car. (Ignore the bump on the head...fairly inevitable by-product of a good toddler party!)
More shoe modeling after the party, and bonding with Ella...
I have to finish with this pic we took today. We went to the amazing Street fair in Fargo (again, had so much fun I forgot to take pics!) and then met up with Sophia's godfather, Brandon, and went to the mall. While Travis, Sophia and I were having dinner at the mall a severe weather warning was broadcasted, so we decided to head home...check out the sky outside the mall! In case you're wondering, YES, I've had enough of the severe weather!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOPHIA!!! TWO-YEARS-OLD!!! Wow. Time goes so quickly. She really looks and sounds like a little girl now. I am sooo excited to see her very soon. Glad you had such fun celebrating with her and I hope the weather has let up.
