Sofia's First Gifts for her Second Birthday (Thursday)

Sofia's Mimi and Grandpa Joe arrived on Thursday afternoon with arms full of gifts for the soon-to-be birthday girl! CK and I decided to space out Sofia's gifts over the weekend so she could really enjoy her birthday and toys. It was fun to watch Sofia open up the gifts from Mimi and Grandpa Joe and play with all of her fun new things.

What's in the bag? Sofia starts in our her bag full of gifts.


Sofia looks at her new SweetPea music player.

Sofia's "Happy Birthday Bear" from Lupe! She has since pulled off two of the candles, but loves making the bear "sing."

A new Mimi-made "Happy Birthday" outfit for Sofia!


Trying to wear her new Happy Birthday outfit! She has really gotten into the "Sofia do it" mode and tries to dress and do everything herself.


Emiy! Mimi and Grandpa Joe gave Sofia the Thomas the Train named Emily, which she loves!!


On Friday, Mimi, Sofia and I went on the quest for a "big girl bed" (we were unlucky in our search). At our last stop, after a long day and sitting in traffic, we decided to let Sofia run around awhile before we piled back in the car to head home. She found this great elephant statue which she just had to "ride." She had great fun and was ready for the trip home after some serious elephant riding and stair climbing.
