Kenya turns 2 years old!

Thank everyone for helping to make Kenya's 2nd birthday a special and fun one!
I think Kenya's birthday was all a 2 year old could ask for. So much family around, dancing, games, and good food.
This is Kenya with her cousins Rachel and Sara who were here for a family visit.

Kenya and cousin Sam.
Sara and Kenya were pretending to be chickens and eating some chips off of the table. What 2 year old doesn't want steak and baked potatoes for their birthday lunch!! We had a BBQ in my dad's honor and it happened to be on her birthday.

Speaking of honoring Grandpa Evans. Kenya sure looks adorable in my dad's glasses.

Thanks aunt Michelle, all of the kids love the vacuum! Thank you all for the gifts for Kenya! She loved them all and felt very special that the presents were for her.
As you can see in the first video we made a slide and the kids loved it!




Here is Kenya playing by herself amongst the chaos of family.

We began her party with the chicken dance. This was something fun we had taught her at the hospital after my dad entered the ICU and Kenya could not see him anymore. Robert was great and we really had to get creative to keep her happy. So, we figured it was a great way to start a party!!


We played "Pin the Tail on the Donkey." It was fun.

Here is a video of the cake. We went really easy this year because I did not have a lot of time to think and/or prepare a cake. It is just a plan cake and on it we put her present from us. Since being back in Montana she has really taken a liking to horses and any farm animals and so that was the theme for the cake. She blew out the candles on her own, after 3 tries!
