Rachel's Birthday Festivities (Part 2)

Part 2 of Rachel's birthday festivities took place at Grandma and Grandpa Goodwin's house.  I've been on a monkey kick lately so I was thrilled when Rachel chose monkey party plates.  It was a theme I could work with.  Thank you to my friends, the Montoyas, for lending me their barrel of monkeys.


Rachel was soooo excited about her cake.  Here, right in front of her, lay 3 of her favorite things: monkeys, cake, and bananas.  By the way, banana chips are really good smothered in chocolate frosting.


Rachel loves playing her cousins.


I wonder what these two are plotting.


Rachel liked the cake.  But she was mostly interested in the frosting.


The cake and ice cream was quickly devoured and everyone went back to playing.  These two were the last ones left in the kitchen.
 

Next came the presents.



Rachel was engrossed in her new toys.  There was no time to worry about her shoe. 


She loved her Little People doll house.



Rachel shared her baby brother with her aunts.



After most everyone had gone home Rachel found this remote and asked, "spicle me?"


We are so grateful that Rachel is part of our family.  Here's to 2 years of fun and many more to come!
