Cake pops by our friend Lina and a chocolate/chocolate cake by me.
We were so happy to know that we would have Dani home by her 2nd birthday, but we didn’t want to overwhelm her by having a big party. We invited several people over to celebrate her without creating mania.

After we lit the candles and sang happy birthday the big sisters helped her by blowing out the candles. Then she had a cake pop and when I gave her a slice of cake she picked the entire piece up and started eating it. We just laughed and let her have at it.

The girls were playing restaurant with Dani’s new toys. Nadia and Amelie took turns being the server and Sam the Cow even got to place an order 🙂
