Birthday Bash

We celebrated N's second birthday yesterday. The party was held in a park up in Burbank and lots of friends and family were there. It was a two-year-old's birthday party, and I'm stumped at finding ways to make that sound particularly exciting. It was fairly low-key with no thrills or spills, which is exactly what we wanted. Just a lot of family and friends, some nice weather and some open spaces.

L was far more excited about the festivities than her brother, but that's mainly because she sees the whole event as a prelude and lead-in to her own grand birthday celebrations, which she's anticipating in about two weeks. (She's about to begin learning that life lesson we call disappointment.)

Rather than anecdotes, I'll concentrate on pictures. Clicking on each brings up a larger image.
