Margaux's second birthday - on the 1st of December - was a lovely, small affair. (If I were to compare myself to the efforts pretty much every other mother I know goes to for their kids' birthdays I would be pretty embarrassed, but that's not the case and, until Margaux starts to remember her birthdays, I think I will continue to refrain from extravagant, themed birthdays complete with professional photographer and a cake that looks more like a wedding cake than a DIY chocolate cake...)
I made cupcakes and took them to school, where they sang happy birthday to Margaux and gave her a crown to wear and a Happy Birthday certificate.
At home we had presents sent from Australia and France, plus we gave her a whiteboard/ chalkboard easel.
One special gift, from Mammy and Pappy, was twin dolls. Margaux cuddled them and played with them a bit, but to be honest they've really come to the fore since the twins have been born because we have a "monkey see, monkey do" mindset here! While I was pregnant though I would hold the babies up to my tummy and try to show Margaux that I had two babies inside me. About as effective as a chocolate teapot, I'm sure.
Anyway, I made a little video of how the days went. (Again, since we're doing this whole birthday thing our way, we spread it over two days. Worked quite well, actually.)
We had a special treat heading our way though, because Uncle Jim was coming to visit!
