Rilynn turns TWO!

On September 19th, Rilynn turned two! I cannot believe how quickly the past two years have gone! It seems like only yesterday that we were anxiously awaiting her arrival! To celebrate her birthday, we had 2 parties! On her actual birthday, we had a "Last Blast of Summer" party in Peachtree City with some of our closest friends (and grandparents and cousins of course!). On September 26th, we had a joint "Bugs Life" birthday party (Coen turned 4 the day before Rilynn turned 2) in Atlanta with our family. Both parties turned out very well and, as you can see from the pictures, Rilynn had a blast!

LAST BLAST OF SUMMER PARTY - SEPTEMBER 19, 2010

The cupcakes I made - they were decorated with blue frosting for the ocean, brown sugar for the beach, and a gumball beachball that I decorated with frosting to match her cake
