Beatrix is 2!

When did our baby girl get so big, there is no way she's turning two already! But she is, so we've been celebrating! On Thursday October 4, 2012 we went to the zoo for her birthday. It was a gorgeous day with perfect weather and we all had a blast. We saw all of the girls favorite animals and I of course took plenty of pictures.

Foster is about as big as Eloise!

We asked someone at the Zoo to take a family picture for us, Beatrix was not too happy about this.

Foster sat in the stroller most of the day like a big boy.

They already had decorations up for Hall-zoo-ween, it's a Harry Potter theme this year.

Polar bear!

White tiger, SO pretty. We almost didn't get to see it, it came out of the cave just as we were walking away.

Beautiful girls, looking at the tiger.

Aren't they adorable!?

Time to ride the train. I do think this is Corey's favorite this about the zoo. :)

Thatcher the pig, the girls got to pet him at the petting zoo.

Pictures again mom, seriously?! This was right after we saw the elephants, Eloise's favorite.

Giraffes!

On Saturday, Beatrix's actual birthday, we stayed home and just had family time. Took some pictures, opened presents, played outside, had veggie soup for lunch, and birthday cake of course! It was a fun day!

Trying to get some pictures of the kids together on the morning of Beatrix's actual birthday.

Birthday girl! 

So big!

Isn't she gorgeous. <3

I got Corey to take a picture of me and the birthday girl.

Sisters, they do like each other sometimes.

Another gorgeous girl. <3

Time to open presents, hello kitty tattoos!

A new baby doll from Ghee Ghee.

Wearing her baby in the Ergo doll carrier and pushing her new shopping cart.

This girl LOVES her cart, it's an upgrade from her little pink one that tends to come apart.

Hello Kitty bank and a handful of change kept them busy for quite a while, although it was noisy!

Family picture! (Thanks for taking it for us Mom.)

Hello Kitty tattoos, on her feet like Mommy.

Hermione was in on the fun too.

Riding Eloise's pink four-wheeler.

Corey and Hermione.

Daddy pushing Beatrix. She loves the "big girl swing", HATES the pink "baby swing", go figure.

We all fit, just barely!

Super dog!

She was coming to tattle on her sister, ha!

"Can you believe what she did Mommy!?"

All of that ^^, because Bea brought her baby doll outside...

Someone didn't want to put her four-wheeler away to go inside.

Birthday cake, made by mommy!

<3

We had to light the candle a few times so they could take turns blowing it out.

Blue and purple layers!

Icing thief.

Yum!

Icing!

Happy Birthday Sugar Booger, Mommy and Daddy love you very very much!
