Happy Birthday Lily!

We had a little party today for Lily's second birthday. After singing "Happy Birthday" to her more times than we can count, we think she figured out that today was a special day! A highlight was Nonna's phone call this morning. She had gnocchi (potato puff pasta) with spaghetti sauce, peas, and bread for dinner, and chocolate pie for a birthday cake. She saw me bake the crust earlier in the day, and couldn't wait to eat the pie! I think we've read too many Richard Scarry books about people eating pie... In actuality, she only ate a couple of bites and was more enamored with putting the candles into her slice of pie. Thanks to everyone for the cards (paper and electronic) you sent. I can't believe she's two; but overall, she sure becomes more fun the older she gets!
