I can't believe Rya is 2!! We had such a special day this year. Her second birthday fell on Mother's Day this year and we also had the kids baptized that Sunday. Such a special and memorable day for our family. Rev. Ed Chandler baptized me when I was confirmed and it was such an honor for him to baptize Rya and Luke for us. I've attached some photos of the day. The pictures aren't the most beautiful (I just had a baby for Pete's sake), but they are definitely special. It was like Christmas in here! Rya had so many presents to open...spoiled little girl. She's worth it~she's a big sister now! :) Some of her gifts include (but aren't limited to) an awesome folding camping chair, some play earrings and tiara, a vacuum (hopefully this will help her get over her fear of the vacuum), a lawnmower that blows bubbles, clothes and a cool computer learning board from our dear friends in Jax, new books, finger paints (those haven't come out of the box yet), a Bullseye from Toy Story flashlight, a Wonder Pets Fly Boat, STICKERS, a stroller for her baby dolls and a 120 piece train set!! She loves all of them so much! Last year she flipped out when we gave her the cake. She just wasn't a fan, but THIS year...watch out! She LOVED it and ate the whole HUGE piece.
