The Gant Family Activities: Kinley's 2nd Birthday!

Kinley turned 2 years old on May 4. We had a fun birthday weekend planned just for her. Enjoy!

Kinley has turned into such a fun, spunky, beautiful toddler. She literally makes Eric and I laugh daily with her quirkiness and balance ability, or lack of. Eric says that Kinley is definitely my daughter because we both can be prone to times of klutziness. Kinley loves to dance and is pretty good at keeping a beat. She is into all things girly (shoes, jewelry, purses, phones, etc) but loves to play with her brothers cars and trains as well. Speaking of her brother, Colton and Kinley are such good friends. As I get ready in the morning, they love to play kitchen in their playroom. Sometimes I will listen to their conversations and smile every time with their playfulness. Kinley is very polite, always telling us "bless you" when we sneeze as well as please and thank you without being prompted. I have said this before, but, Kinley has no fear of anything. She loves water, people, animals, etc. Because she has no fear, she is one of the friendliest child you will meet. Kinley will often go up to people to say hi when we are out and about and loves to play with other kids that she meets at the park, etc. We were truly blessed when this beautiful girl came into our lives.

Kinley celebrated her birthday at daycare on Friday because her birthday was on Saturday. I love that she picked out the purse and sunglasses all on her own.

Already becoming a little poser.

I brought cupcakes for the kids to enjoy and delivered lunch to everyone.

Saturday morning, Kinley woke up to balloons in her room and streamers on her door. The streamers freaked her out because she didn't want to go through them at first. She sat inside her room and cried for us to come get her when she first woke up.

Once Colton woke up and ran through the streamers, Kinley was just fine.

Both kids had fun playing with the balloons.

Blurry, but pure joy on her face.

We asked Kinley what she wanted for breakfast and she said, "Donuts!" So we packed them in the car, in pajamas and all, and headed to Krispy Kreme. The kids loved watching the donuts being made and eating them.

Kinley took her time opening the presents and then wanted to play with each one before opening another gift. Too cute.

Not only does she love shoes and purses, but cell phones have become a new obsession. Uh oh!

Colton has some big blocks and Kinely could sit there and play with them for hours. I was happy to see that they now make blocks in girl colors.

Kissing her new baby, Cinderella.

We literally asked Kinley what she wanted to to for her birthday and went with it. She wanted to go see Chuck E Cheese so we went (even though we never go on a Saturday....too crazy).
