It's hard to believe that Maggie turned 2 yesterday! We started the day with a Compton tradition: the birthday girl's breakfast doughnut on the birthday plate! Maggie loved it and Campbell was only a little jealous that she didn't get to use the birthday plate.
Both girls got to wear their number shirts (a clearance Gymboree score! Yay for me!) to school.
We had a nice dinner at Nana and Pop's house. Nana made a special dessert (chocolate covered strawberries) just for Maggie! Apparently Maggie thought she didn't have to have table manners since it was her birthday... (by the way, do those feet remind you of anyone's? I'm pretty sure Maggie is following in Robbie's footprints...literally. She wears a size 8 while Campbell is only in a 9 1/2-10. Poor girl has the Compton big-foot curse. Her Daddy wears a size 17, her aunt a 12, and her grandmother an 11. **Sigh** She'll probably outgrow my measly size 7s by the 3rd grade...;) )
We are so lucky that my sister, Julie, was able to come down for the week with her girls, Lydia and Eliza. Maggie and Eliza really hit it of!
Today we had a Pirate Party at the park to celebrate Maggie turning 2. It was a lot of fun and instead of treat bags, we provided all the kids with pirate swords, hats, eye patches, and tattoos to encourage some imaginative play. We had it at a local park (thanks to Robbie going early to claim the picnic tables) so all the kids could run and play.
Of course, my friend Jaime at Fine Prints designed the invitations, cupcake toppers, and the girls' t-shirts. She adapted her pirate design to make it more "girly" and it turned out so cute!
A few weeks ago, Robbie won a cupcake eating contest at a local bakery and his prize was a gift certificate. Ironically, we used it to buy the cupcakes for Maggie's birthday! (I'll have to do a separate post about the contest...it was a riot and Robbie is looking forward to going back in July to defend his title.)

So, all in all, I think Maggie enjoyed her birthday. She got to spend time with her family and friends, eat yummy food, and play pirates. Check back next week after her 2 year check up for a post about Maggie at age 2 with her stats (I'm pretty sure she'll weigh in at least at 30 pounds!).
