Ruthie Loves her Birthday!

We started the birthday celebrations yesterday by hosting a little playgroup/birthday party at our house. It was great and she loved it. We didn't sing to her (which I think she also loved) and it was just her and her cute little friends hanging out.

We even tried a group shot, and got 4 out of 5, pretty good!

Ryder even gave Ruthie a birthday kiss!

After playgroup, and a good nap, the celebration continued when Daddy got home. It was present time!

She absolutely loved opening her presents. She started with Auntie Sheila's gifts, which were just perfect! She had so much fun with the books and stuffed animal and I can't wait to put her in the cute cute cute outfit! Thank you so much Auntie Sheila!!

Then it was time for one of Grandma's gifts! She was starting to get the hang of ripping the paper, so that was cute! She loved the magnets and taking them off (and trying to hoard them ;-). She's going to love playing with the alphabet magnets!

Then on to her present from us, a princess tent and tunnel! Its safe to say she absolutely loves the tunnel, the tent she walks around carrying (which is pretty funny in itself). It was definitely a hit!

I have to say I think one of the biggest hits was sitting on the present boxes and the ribbon! She loved it!




After dinner, it was cupcake time! It took Ruthie a good 2-3 minutes to get any in her mouth. She just kept mashing and mashing it in her fingers and hands. I'm pretty sure she's going love finger painting.

It was a great birthday! The celebration continues this weekend, and Ruthie can't wait!
