toddler forever

Happy Birthday, Heidi!!! Heidi turned two years old yesterday, August 21st. Caitlin and Sharon and Heidi honoured us by choosing to celebrate Heidi's birthday at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Heidi swam in the lake, played with her cousin Elizabeth (also two years old), and even had "cake" and presents! Elizabeth helped her blow out her candle and open her presents. This picture was taken recently at Elizabeth's house. I think it's an especially lovely portrait of Heidi, revealing what a charming, sweet and beautiful creature she is! (Heidi was particularly taken with the present that Grandpa bought for her, which shows that she is also a forgiving creature, willing to let bygones be bygones!)
