Thankful for our 2-year-old!

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving and Vivian's 2nd Birthday!  We ate a non-traditional Thanksgiving meal: steaks, mashed potatoes, greens beans sautéed in bacon grease with peanuts for Josh & I; homemade chicken nuggets, mashed potatoes, steamed carrots and cauliflower for the girls.  Then we finished with birthday cake!  Not just any birthday cake, but Double Decadence Chocolate Cake, which we all love!!!  Of course, just after breakfast we opened presents and that was great timing as the girls played the whole morning so we could cook/bake all the yummy food.

Vivian made out like a bandit!  Backpack, car, hat, cd/microphone - all of which she is loving!  And Shelby, too.  :)

Our pretty 2-year-old, with painted nails.  :)

Presents!!!

They could hardly wait for Daddy to get the car put together!

And the car needs gas!  What better "gas pump" than a ... gun?  Hehe.  Love their imaginations!  

Happy 2nd Birthday, Vivian Ruth!!!

Looking back it is funny to see that we are eating just about the same thing for Vivian's 2nd birthday as we did for Shelby's 2nd birthday!  (We are having macaroni tonight!)

Our Thanksgiving table decorations we moved aside so that the girls (and us) could enjoy a fun "tablecloth"!  My mom brought this down to Sanderson last year and we didn't use the whole thing, which is great because we had lots of fun coloring, playing tic-tac-toe, and the dot game this year, too.
