To celebrate Janie's second birthday, we decided to celebrate the same way we celebrated Clara's 2nd birthday. We started off by surprising her when she woke up with donuts! We let her open her gift from Clara, a set of Mickey & Minnie Mouse dolls.
Later in the afternoon we picked Daddy up from work and spent a fun afternoon at the Seattle Aquarium. Clara and Janie both found delight in watching the fish in the first few tanks, they both were a little timid about touching creatures in the tide pools and they both had a blast playing on the sea creature felt board. It really was a fun way to celebrate.
When we left the aquarium the weather was still so beautiful we did not want to leave the waterfront and wandered onto the pier and then out to The Fisherman's Wharf for a dinner on the deck. We all enjoyed a yummy fish dinner and Mommy & Daddy enjoyed a celebratory beverage. We capped off the meal with the birthday song for our sweet baby girl and a HUGE portion of strawberry shortcake!
After dinner we promised the girls a ride on the carousel before we headed home, which they loved! The evening was going so well that we made an last minute decision to push back bed time and ride the new Seattle Great Wheel before we headed home. Janie kept pointing to it through dinner letting us know each time it started spinning and she seemed really intrigued. Having been on the London Eye, Kevin & I were not sure how much we would enjoy this much smaller version, but decided to give it a go... SO glad we did! Clara & Janie loved our cozy little ride capsul which and the view at dusk was beautiful.
I am so glad that we made the most of our sweet little girls' birthday and created some wonderful family memories!
