Nora turns 2: A bicycle birthday party

Whether she's sitting in our bike trailer eating a lollipop, riding a tricycle on the back deck or pedaling furiously on her pretend bike (the arm of the couch), Nora is obsessed with biking. We are too, so naturally we decided to have a bicycle-themed party for Nora's 2nd birthday. I may be more than two months late in posting, but I couldn't resist sharing a few snaps from the special day.

Above: Thank goodness my engineer father-in-law was in town to help carve the path winding down the side of this mountain of cake or I would have been in trouble. You can find the inexpensive bicycle figurines here.

Below: The birthday girl.

Of course she needed some bicycle paraphernalia for her party. You can find this adorable dress here.

One of these days, I'll post Nora's 2-year-old portraits from our trip to Florida this spring. In the meantime, here's a preview from her (non-bike-related) invitation.
