Happy Birthday, Robin

After weeks of anticipation, Robin turned two today! What did she want for her birthday? Cupcakes, and for people to sing happy birthday to her. Done and done. Here was our great day.

Breakfast. Even though Daddy cooks amazing pancakes, sweet potato oatmeal, and waffles, Robin wants cereal. Kix, Honey Bunches of Oats, and Raisin Bran!

At Brookside Gardens seeing the "mini-trains." There was an amazing model train display and Robin and Miriam loved to watch them. Then we took a walk around the beautiful gardens.

Lunch at the Tastee Diner (a Silver Spring institution since 1935). Waffles dunked in chocolate milkshake for Miriam (see above) and mac n' cheese, applesauce, and a chocolate milkshake for Robin. We won't mention what the parents ate, but it is the "Season of Gluttony!"

We had a Skype date with Grandma Jean and Pop Pop (who sent a great singing card, which Robin danced to, a lot!) and then Uncle Rob, Aunt Vida, and Cousin Pearce came over for a birthday dinner, and CUPCAKES with chocolate icing. See the results, above!

Playing with her new trains before bath and bedtime. This girl LOVES trains! Now we are off to Worcester, Mass., to visit the Myers clan.
