Maeve had a fantastic weekend of birthday celebrations! Her Grandma, Auntie Beth, Nanna and Grandad all came in for the festivities. We had a small celebration with Grandma on Friday including chocolate cake, and a big party with Maeve’s friends and vanilla cupcakes on Saturday! The weather was beautiful, so we played in the backyard, and many of the guests watched the Cubs clinch the NL Central Division championship too. We got to talk to G.G. and Aunt Nancy and our former nanny Zlatka on the phone which were special treats for Maeve.
I have posted some pictures in the gallery and hope to have more to share soon. There are also some great ones here courtesy of my friend Cara. Maeve loved opening her gifts on Sunday morning and we are so thankful for the new toys, art supplies, clothes, books and puzzles she received! We gave each child a small colorful pot to decorate with stickers and two crocus bulbs to plant – Aunt Heather and my mom get credit for the brilliance behind this idea. It was a big hit!
This week Maeve has her classes, her two-year-old check-up, and we are taking a special trip to a pumpkin patch on Friday with our playgroup!
