HAPPY BIRTHDAY LYDIA!!!
That is right Lydia is now 2 years old. All had a great day, and Lydia held center stage for hours.
Pop-Pop Manley walks in to the event, and asks Lydia, "How old are you Lydia?"
Lydia looks him in the eyes and says, "Twooo Pop-pop."
Pop-Pop looked back at little Lydia in astonishment. He hands little Lydia a frog balloon, and he turns his back. Next thing you know, guess what Lydia did? She releases the balloon and away it started flying. Of course Grampa Bill and Pop-pop just watched as it floated away. Poor Lydia. All was fine though, as Lydia had 20 other balloons to draw from. But it was still fun to pick on Pop-pop and Grampa Bill about letting her balloon fly away.
What a great day. Lydia was blessed with many visitors who all gave her the center of attention. Everyone played with her, and Daddy grilled about 14 pounds of meat on the grill. Momma, decorated the deck up, and prepared the best salads known. Lydia trivia was a hit, and luckily no fights broke out in the competitive group. Grampa Bill tried to give the win to Pop-pop (we have to keep an eye on these two) by incorrectly grading his paper. Auntie Pam and Gramma Delores were the proud winners of the contest.
Then the rain threatened us, and we moved the party inside to eat cake and open presents. Lydia scored all sorts of great presents including the matching lady bug rain gear shown above. She also got toys, an apron, gardening tools, tele-tubby dolls, and of course lots of clothes. In addition, she scored a big swing set just for her.
It was a great time and a great event that Momma put on. And the happiest of birthdays a little girl could ask for. Happy Birthday sweet Lydia!
