Happy 2nd Birthday Alaina!

It's hard to believe that Alaina is already two years old! Our baby girl is not a baby anymore. The last two years have been such an adventure. We celebrated Alaina's birthday in style at McDonald's. It was really low-key, but Alaina had the best time. She loves McDonald's! We can't drive past one without her screaming "MiNomalls" (her version of McDonald's). We invited my parents and our good friends Paul and Anna to dinner. Of course we chose a McDonald's with a playland. That was another big hit for Alaina. She loved climbing up and down the slide with her good friend Parker. After playing for awhile we had a yogurt parfait and a chocolate milkshake, Alaina's absolute favorites! Below are some photos from our McDonald's birthday party.
After playing at McDonald's we went back to our house. I made birthday cupcakes for Alaina. We ate them while opening presents. Even Zoe tried to steal some of the birthday cake!
