She started off her day being treated to a little breakfast in mommy and daddy's bed. That of course was followed up with a nice super-frostingy cupcake. (My rule for birthdays is that you can eat pure sugar all day long if you so desire. I'm trying not to act like every day is my own birthday.)
Then later that night she had some of her closest little buddies over to help her party-hardy. 
Excited about her cake
"Oh wait, where'd all these people come from?" This was her reaction as soon as she realized everybody was staring at her. People are often surprised to find out what a shy little gal she can be.
Her friends were so super sweet and gave her lots of fun toys to play with!
For the past few days she's been trying to carry every single one of them around the house all at the same time and has been getting quite frustrated if she drops anything.
The kitchen was an absolute hit. Reese even grabbed my hand Tuesday morning and led me over to it only to point and say, "No touch!" So apparently it's even hands off for mommy. (She must have been a little traumatized by having to share with all her friends the night before. Such a fun concept to teach at this age. :( )
She's also been insistent that her new puppy go in the oven. Thanks Reese for giving us even more of a reason not to get a real one. 
Tom was also thrilled with the party because he got to bust out and dust off the old ping pong table...and have people who wanted to play with him. Pretty much I'm the meanest wife ever who very rarely plays.
And to make matters worse I'm making him sell it on craigslist so we can completely convert the loft into a play room for the girls. "for the girls"...I love how that sounds. :)
The party didn't stop after everybody left though. Reese decided she wanted to go in for another round or two of cupcakes. Well, at least eat another round or two of frosting off the cupcakes. That's my girl!
Thanks to everybody for your thoughtful birthday calls, comments, cards, and gifts. We had a great time spoiling the heck out of her!

I love that cake! The colors are so cute. What a fun idea.
A kid's birthday. I can't even imagine how much fun that must be to plan and carry out. She looked so overwhelmed and excited. Totally cute.
Happy Birthday Reese.
I love the cute 2-year old pigtails! Adorable.
That cake and stand is AWESOME... where did you get that? I really do want to know! What a fun birthday party! It makes me sad that we couldn't be there. I can't believe it's been TWO YEARS since we've had our babies. You look GREAT by the way!
I love that cake. Way cute!! Looks like she had a great birthday. I think we might get that kitchen for Ava for Christmas. What site can I find it on??
Happy Birthday, Reese! I can't believe she's already two! Her party looked fantastic. And her pigtails are adorable!
I also have to say, that is the cutest cake I've ever seen. I'm glad Reese had a fun birthday. And Rachel, you look awesome!
That looked like a magical little birthday party! Very darling. Ryan also LOVES ping pong and we have our table in the basement so you can reasure Tom that he'll always have a willing partner in Ryan.
Love, love, love her birthay cake- oh and the kitchen!!
I love the cake. So cute. Reese has a ton of friends for a 2 year old. How fun!
Looks like the party was awesome! I'm sad we had to miss it! She is adorable as ever!
The cupcake thing was so cute! I am also really impressed that she got to eat in your bed. I don't think I'm brave enough to let my kids do that.
You do birthdays right! Reese looked like she loved every second of it!
OK, I know everyone else said the same thing but that cake is to die for! Happy Birthday Reese! Looks like a very special day for a very special little girl. I love celebrating birthdays.
She is so stinking adorable. I can't believe it's been two years already. Glad she loves the kitchen - it is as cute as she is! Well, almost.
I LOVE the kitchen and of course REESE is looking so cute for her second birthday!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY REESE!!
wow!!! I love the cake!!! your little lady is so adorable! PS, love the kitchen!!
PPS, and Love your bro for making me pretty again!! :)
She is SO cute. I cannot believe she still lets you do her hair, Katie has fought that since she was 1-1/2! And, you look great! It will be fun when you can have the loft ready for the girls to play in, even if Tom has to give up his ping pong table.
Can't believe she's two. Happy late birthday, Reese!
Happy late birthday, little lady! Sorry we missed it! For some reason I always think of Reese's Bday being in November. Looks like she had a great day!
sorry this is late in coming, but happy birthday reese! i can't believe she's 2. I remember when you and tom came over a few nights before we moved here and told us you were expecting! the time has just cruised by! she's such a cute little girl and she probably has some of the best parents around. she's a lucky girl!
