Gwen's Birthday Month!

Gwen's 2nd Birthday

She woke up happy and hungry!  We got all our bags in the van and we started the drive to the airport.

10 minutes from the airport Gwen coughs.  Then pukes.  Then pukes some more!

She got her own seat on the flight back (since she was now 2) so we got a bit of gravol in her and she fell asleep before take off (after a delay...snow storm in Calgary!) and slept all the way to Calgary.

We drove home in the freezing snow storm, had supper and all went to bed.  Birthday celebrations happened in the morning :)

 A good sleep made everyone happier and Gwen got a song and a candle in her oatmeal!

 Our happy 2 year old!  We love our Gwen so much!

 Lunch time had more "Happy Birthday" singing!

Gwen knew it meant...

 ...a cupcake and candles!

She is so cute - blows her bangs up trying to blow out the candles!

 Gwen wasn't sick anymore and there was fresh snow so on Remembrance Day Daddy took them for a sled ride.

 They have grown a lot since last winter!

 Sled tipped, Cara landed on Gwen, Gwen had a face plant in the snow.

She might never want to play in the snow again!

 The next weekend Gwen woke up and puked (stomach flu had been go around while we were away) so she missed swimming class and a Baby Group reunion.  Cara and Mummy went to see all the other 4 year olds - this is all of them except Leah!

This began the week of illness for us.  Gwen had it, Cara had it, Mummy and Daddy had it.  A very long week.  We were all better by the next Saturday and ready to celebrate Gwen one more time!

 Gwen loves butterflies so her party theme had to be: Butterflies!

 Butterfly cupcakes!

 Party Girl!

 Cara and Leah enjoying some snacks.

 Gwen loves strawberries so we had to have those too.

 Nana and Gwen :)

 Gwen's BFF Sidney and her Daddy.

 Lots of help opening presents!

 She hears singing again!

 Making a wish!

 Cara thought is was so funny that Gwen kept blowing her hair up instead of the candles!

 She has the icing lick down pat.

 Pin-the-butterfly-on-the-flower game time!

 Leah was good at this one.

 All the girls hugging goodbyes.

Our super cool 2 year old girl.

Gwen brings a whole lot of fun and laughs to our family and we love her so much!
