Hadley Turns Two

Hadley's second birthday coincided with the biggest snowstorm DC has seen in more than 100 years. We actually broke the 54-inch snowfall record set back in 1899. Fitting given how much this girl loves drama.

With four feet of snow on the ground, it quickly became clear that I was going to have to scrap the bakery-bought princess cake I had ordered for "P(r)incess Wadwee." Ever the helper, she decided to pitch in and help bake her own cake.



Of course, this created something of a "mess;" and if there is one thing Hadley can't stand, it's a mess. She headed to the bathroom to clean herself up. Apparently, there was no towel in the bathroom, so she improvised with toilet paper (take a close look inside the toilet).


Did I mention it was Super Bowl Sunday? Did I mention the four feet of snow...that was also covering our satellite dish? Clearly, Chad could not let that stand. Here he is after cleaning off the satellite.

By noon, the birthday girl passed out watching "Tinkbell."


That afternoon, she was ready for presents. One sticker on the vacuum Gran and Papa gave her was a little off. It really stressed her out.


Then, it was time for cake...and candles. Big mistake. Even after we removed the candles, she wanted none of it. There would be no singing, no blowing out the candles, no birthday wishes. None of it!


Terrible twos, bring it on.
