Happy Birthday Kaiya, Part 1

A week ago, Kaiya Grace turned 2! She had a visit from Tony's mom, Nannie, who flew just for the special occasion. Instead of a cake (sugar overload), we decided to make a fruit creation. I got my inspiration for Edible Arrangments -- a company who makes fruit bouquets. Anyway... I bought styrofoam at JoAnn's Fabrics and carved the #2 out of it. Then I wrapped it in foil and started sticking fruit to it. It was so much fun and turned out perfect!

Tony and I lucked out on her birthday present this year. I actually found this at a yard sale for $20. It is nearly brand new and in perfect condition. And she LOVES it.

Then Mimi & Papa got her the IKEA children's kitchen playsets. They have a baking set (which she is opening now), cooking set and then place settings. They are all made out of real metal/wood and glass, so they are literally miniature versions of what I use in the kitchen.

Kaiya got to go with Nannie to Toys'R'Us to pick out her birthday gift. She wanted everything in the store. :) But among a few other things, we settled on this car. She can't quite move herself around, but she still has a blast in it. And Daddy gives her a ride in it every night to her room... it's like the "night-night taxi."
