Clara worked hard to teach her how to tell people how old she is.
Her brothers and sisters woke her bright and early because they were so excited for this special day. Eliza really likes her beauty sleep and is not an early riser so she was not so excited. Every time they started to sing happy birthday, she would cry and try to hit one of them. Once they pulled out a few presents to open she was a little happier and had fun ripping into the paper.
Her cousin Joshua came over to play in the afternoon and she loves him and anyone that she can give loves to and run around with. They are really into emptying out the pantry and piling food into other rooms. They are such opposites in coloring it is funny to see them side by side.
Eliza's grandma and grandpa Fillmore gave her this cute little table and chairs for her birthday. It has kittys painted allover them and are perfect for her cooking and tea parties. Thanks Gramma.
That night we opened the last of the presents and had a little cake with the kids. They were definitely more excited than her. She didn't like the cake but loves ice-cream so she may have to start being the ice cream sundae birthday kid instead of cake.
Eliza is so much fun and almost always happy and excited about anything and everything. I love every minute with her. I know now that she is two I should be worried about those terrible twos but so far she is so fun all the time. We love you little Eliza.
