Today is Ruby's second birthday! We had a little party last Friday, nothing too involved just Heath and I, his parents, and his grandma. I did a little decorating while Ruby was in daycare. I am totally in love with our fireplace mantle...maybe not so much how I decorated it (I swear I am missing the decorating gene) but I love the character it adds to our home.

Heath and his dad spent about 2 hours to put together the cool retro kitchen we all got her. Sure, I could have gotten a plastic one that would have been cheaper and easier to put together but, well, I'm picky and I really wanted something cute if I was going to have to look at it every day.

Two hours to put together but only about two seconds for her to notice it after she got home from daycare. One of the first things she did is go up to the microwave and start hitting the buttons and saying, "beep beep beep!" Another one of those where-did-she-learn-that moments that have been happening so often lately.

"wash, wash"
There were of course other gifts to open, mostly accessories for the kitchen including fake fruits and veggies, pots and pans, and a vintage toaster and metal plates. When I asked Heath's parents if they would split the cost of the kitchen and accessories with us I really meant that as Hey, you don't need to get her anything else, this is more than enough but I guess when you have the only grandchild all that goes out the window.

After dinner we had cake. The plans for the cake were as follows: 
Plan A: Make a cake from scratch (yeah. right.)
Plan B: Buy that Caramanda's cupcake Groupon (only I forgot to buy it. Crap.)
Plan C: Find a suitable cake from Kroger for Ruby and cupcakes from Gigi's for the rest of us.

She was very concerned about the holes where the candles had been. She didn't start eating any of the cake until the candles were brought back and put back into the holes. Then she took them out and tried to eat them. Mmmm....wax. 

After the festivities were through Heath's mom and dad took Ruby back to their hotel for the night. Heath and I went to The Pub and to see The Hobbit. Win!
