Happy Birthday Mara!!!

Wow! My baby is two!! I can't believe it! What a little cutie! We couldn't ask for a better daughter to come to our family. She surely has been our little 'mara-mellow' such a good little girl! She is full of giggles and smiles all the time! To celebrate Mara's big day we had birthday blueberry muffins and opened presents. Her favorite present was her new baby stroller to push her dolly in!
We headed up north to Canon Beach and spent the day playing in the sand, feeding seagulls, and strolling through the ritzy shops. Canon Beach is a rich tourist attraction along the coast. It has many elegant and fancy clothing shops, beautiful art gallaries, and little cafe's. It really is a beautiful little town of manicured streets, and full of flowers. Canon Beach is also one of the famous spots along the Oregon Coast for the haystack rocks.
Mara chowed down on homemade hamburgers and corn on the cob--yum! Her birthday cake was a triple-berry on angel food cake! She picked out all the blueberries and left the cake!!

One of our favorite things today was feeding the seagulls. We hadn't planned on this little activity but a man at the beach gave us a loaf of bread and boy was it fun! We've never seen so many seagulls in our life. They swooped so close a couple times I started to scream! Ty took good care of his mama and chased all the seagulls away from me!
