Happy Birthday Cyrus!

Speaking of friends, my very first best friend Cyrus celebrated his 2nd birthday with an awesome party in the park: kids, dogs, great food, and plenty of room to run.

'UP' and getting cake - is this heaven?

wherefore art thou Romeo?

I know that on my birthday, I turned two.
And Cyrus's birthday means that he's two, too!
So last week, before we called to sing happy birthday,
Mama asked me, "Xela, how old is Aunt Gillian today?"
I smiled proudly and shouted, TWO!!!
(I'm still working out the details of this birthday thing.)
