| RUBY! 2! |
 |
| Happy girl - especially with her Daddy :) |
 |
| Lovin' sunglasses and suckers on her special day :) |
We celebrated with just our family on her actual birthday and then threw a little snowman party (since she's obsessed with snowmen) for her on Saturday with some of our new friends.
She had her favorite breakfast - cheerios (super hard to make ;) ) when she woke up and enjoyed being sung Happy Birthday all day long. She wasn't too thrilled about having to take a nap on her birthday, but beauty sleep is nothing but necessary for this girl. Her birthday dinner included Macaroni and Cheese and Peas. She's a bottomless pit when it comes to Mac and Cheese and is always up for it.
Throughout the day Ross kept asking if it was his birthday after hers - which - yes it is - but he thought as soon as we were done celebrating her birthday we'd move right on to celebrating his. He was really great to Ruby though being excited for her to have a birthday cake and presents. He helped make the cake and was more than helpful unwrapping presents with her that night.

| She also wanted pretty toes - which she later had mixed feelings about :) |
 |
| Somewhat of a snowman face cake :) |

| Ruby saying "Cheese!" |
 |
| Very happy to take care of the Oreos on the cake. .:) |
 |
| LOVE my Ruby :) |
 |
| Let's eat! |

 |
| Rockin' the new boots! :) |
She loved blowing out her candles as you can see, but preferred eating the ice cream (like her Grandpa Don) over the actual cake in the end.
She was so happy to get a new baby doll, stroller, and baby carrier and has loved taking care of her baby since. She got a really fun Hawaiian counting cloth book from Grandpa and Grandma White - as well as a new Book of Mormon cartoon. And from Grandpa and Grandma Staheli she got a new pair of Ladybug boots which she adores (also good because she's getting way too big for the ones she has now - but insists on wearing constantly).
For her snowman party, we had friends come play with toys, play pin the nose on the snowman, sing Happy Birthday, eat cake, and play some more. Ruby loved all of it and having all the kids over to play. She got some great coloring supplies, bubble bath, and a fun Pizza play food kit from her friends. She especially loved a blue ring pop she got from them too - as you can see. :) It was a really fun day.

| Ready for her party! |
 |
| Ruby has loved this giant snowman head - and has given it kisses multiple times. :) |
 |
| As usual - we did cake pops for the party - snowman ones this time! |
 |
| Ruby even did pin the carrot on the snowman! |
 |
| Blowing out her candle for a second time! :) |

| Yummy cake pops! |
 |
| Opening presents is always exciting for everyone. :) |
 |
| Yes - she has a sock on her hand - she likes that - and a duck call necklace, no pants, and a blue face. This is our Ruby :) |
 |
| Love this leftover-ring-pop blue face :) |
