It's hard to believe that our NorNor Girl is two! (Or maybe not so hard to believe- she's kind of two-going-on-sixteen some days.)
We celebrated with cowgirl book cake at Grandma and Grandpa Erdmann's the Sunday before:
Nora loves Toy Story lately, and always wants to watch "Cowboy and Buzz." Most birthday requests were centered around cowboys.
The actual birthday was on a Friday, but because of some crazy busy-ness we did the bulk of our celebrating on Saturday. First, we went swimming at the Orem Rec Center- love the sweatsuit!
We came home and opened presents . . .
And of course her favorites were the cheap Party Land cowboy-themed favors :).
She wears this hat everywhere. She even sleeps in it occasionally.
We ate her favorite meal, pizza and bread sticks with chocolate milk, before digging into a much simpler version of the boot cake. Isn't she sweet?
We sure love our Eleanor! Some info about her two-year-old Self:
* Nora loves dance parties. We turn on some music in the living room and rock out!
* She loves her daddy. When I try to give Dave a kiss when he comes home from work, Nora says, "No Mommy! My Daddy! Go play with JoJo!"
* She loves to sing. She sings along with all of her many bedtime songs, and we hear her singing songs she's only heard a few times. (Favorites include the Gilmore Girls theme song and "O Christmas Tree.")
* She has several "journals" that she has filled with drawings and "writing." Her favorite thing to "write" is her full name and the names of every family member she can think of. This includes "Daddy Ray Burton" and "JoJo Boy Burton."
* Whenever Nora walks down the stairs to our front door, she exclaims, "Here comes me!"
* She can count to ten, knows her colors, and can recite the entire alphabet.
* Any time you ask her a question, she says "I don't know," followed by the (usually) correct answer. "What color is this block?" "I don't know. Blue!"
* She adds -Girl or -Boy to the end of all of our names. Daddy Boy, Mommy Girl, NorNor Girl, and JoJo Boy. She has also been known to call for "Davey" to come help her.

Looks like a fun day! I remember when Brooke was about that age she would answer every question with "I don't know" followed by the right answer too. Must be the age.
Not sure where I was when you first wrote this post...
My kids love Toy story too! Love the cakes.
Nora is a doll! I especially love that she doesn't' like you to kiss Dave. That is hilarious!
