Can I just say that I love this girl!! and I can't believe she is two!!
Last night, Aaron and I blew up a kazillion ballons and shoved them all in her room! When she woke up she was just grinning from ear to ear. All morning she said, "mine balloons!!" She loved it!
Later, we meet up with some friends at the park and shared a few mini cupcakes.
I made her a crown she wore all day.
Aaron bought a $100 dollar shopvac for $20. Its huge.
It holds 12 gallons and I'm pretty sure Tara can fit in the tank. (I know, pretty random. Aaron called me while we were at the park and said I needed to go home and check out the shopvac on slick deals because it was going to be gone soon. I told him I wouldn't be home for at least an hour. He called me back a little later and said he just went ahead and bought it. We picked it up at Home Depot after Tara woke up from her nap! ha ha. Love that man)
Tara picked out her outfit by the way!
We did donuts and ice cream instead of cake. The girls are talking to grandma and papa on skype.
I think the donut sprinkles were a hit!
Right after she was done she said, "A needa wet wipe!" She doesn't like messy hands.
So in honor of my baby girl turning two, here is my list of things about Tara at two:
1. She definitely has a few opinions about clothes such as...

I love Tara, too. I also love this post. The list is a keeper...one that she will appreciate when she is older and can no longer remember when she was 2. Bless you, Jen, for keeping a record of Maddie's and Tara's childhood goings on.
