RUBY'S 2nd BIRTHDAY (Northern California)

Ruby still talks about her birthday party excitedly every day.
"So many people there!"
"Everybody sing happy birthday!"
"Daddy made cupcakes, FOR EVERYBODY!"


Lots of her friends celebrated with us. We had sand toys, chicken tacos, fruit salad, Grandma Linda and Papa Marvin, and so many cupcakes. It was a big day for little Ruby.

p.s. Daddy makes super-delicious cake.
Isaac (with the super curly hair) is Ruby's boyfriend. She is crazy about him. They used to share a nanny. This crush has been going on a long time.

Aurora (in the pink hat) is a frequent play mate, as are Niko (in the baseball cap), Holly and Chloe (sitting on the blanket), and Augie and Clara (sister and brother sitting on the picnic table).

And it was great to see other close friends that we don't get to see as often.

At the end, Niko didn't want to leave. He wanted to take a nap in the sandbox. His mommy (Anne) worked hard to lure him away.
