Turning Two!

Macy's birthday was filled with snowy days, bumped heads, traveling relatives, tons of gifts and laughs, and a split fat lip. She hit 2 running!
On the first night, Grandparents Engstrom and Grandma Dawn arrived after snowy weather. Grandma Tootie and Dawn played with the girls who showed off for hours after their long trip. I don't think my grandparents needed their hearing aids this weekend because girls screaming and talking incessantly was a constant occurrence. The downside of the evening came when Dad was at the top of the stairs and saw Macy, who after hundreds of times down the stairs had done fine, took a nasty tumble. He skipped some stairs to fly after her, yelling her name and the whole time only inches from grasping her tiny body flailing down the steps to the linoleum floor that lied below. I heard his footsteps pedaling down the stairs as fast as they could go. I thought he caught her until I got up and looked down to Macy lying flat on the floor. Jon picked her up and she appeared to be all right. Luckily, he said, she landed on her side and then rolled to her back, but he was still shaking an hour later, and what he possibly could have witnessed. She walked away with rug burn on her cheek and forehead.
We only did a family birthday for Macy and even that got cut short on Sunday from the weather. She had an excellent day, though, and enjoyed her Mickey and Minnie birthday cake!
One of her favorite toys was this real life puppy that Grandma Phyllis gave her. He barks, growls, howls and wags his tail. And now, Macy barks, growls, howls, and wags her bootie.
To finish off her birthday, Macy raced Caitlin and tripped and fell against the bottom of the couch and split her lip. Officially 2!

That last picture of Macy is perfect.
And that is the brightest cake I have ever seen in my whole life.
Also, you should post the picture of you in a bikini. Makes me feel good.
