Today, March 12th, is Ariya Storm's 2nd birthday. She had a day home with Grandma Rasmussen while recovering from strep throat (I know, super lame) but her cousins, Joseph & Christopher, came over to have dinner & birthday cake.  As you can see, we had a great time celebrating tonight!

Ariya's 2nd Birthday party!

WOOH! Ariya's two years old! To celebrate this fantastic event, we threw a Sesame Street themed birthday party; complete with an Elmo cake. The decorations, food and balloons were a hit, and with a little help from Mother Nature, I think we pulled off one of the best toddler birthday's EVER!

Carrots & celery in ranch, cookies, goldfish & pizza were on the menu.

We had a such a fun day and are so thankful to the family and friends that shared it with us.
