Sarah's "Happy To You Birthday!"

Miss Sarah's birthday was on Friday. She's two. Time has gone so fast. It seems like yesterday she was this little.

 Because Greg had been hit by a car on Thursday, and Sarah was super sick, it was a pretty low key day. She did get to open a few presents, but mostly she wanted to sleep and watch Mickey Mouse. She was thrilled by the cute dress, though.

 I think she loved the card even more. It had Minnie Mouse and played music. She listened to that card maybe ten times before she went down for her nap.

 For her birthday, I made some Minnie Mouse cupcakes with ears. I used Oreos for the head and mini Oreos for the ears. She wanted pink frosting so I piped some onto the chocolate cupcake. She was super excited and kept asking for spoonfuls of icing.

 For her candle cake, I stacked two eight inch rounds and used two cupcakes for the ears. I added a bow for Minnie Mouse and tried to ice it with chocolate ganache, which didn't set in time, but tasted pretty good any how.

 We purchased a Minnie Mouse background set and set it up. It was huge and she loved it. This is how Sarah does two.

 Her favorite present of the day was probably this slinky. She kept playing with it today and calling it her "Snakey" or "Sneaky." She loves it.

 She tried to blow out the candles, but when it didn't work it was scary, so she asked mommy to do it.

 She sure loved being the center of attention, and despite a cold, had a great day. I'm so grateful she's in our lives and that our wonderful family could spend time with us and help us make her birthday special!
