Stell turns 2 Part 2 - the family party + Shannon and Ryan:)

On Sunday, May 22nd we celebrated Stell's real birthday with the fam. Gram flew in from VT and got in just in time to help me with the preparations! Although I did zero cooking so other than a massive pick up of toys and a little decorating there wasn't much to do!
BB and Babs picked up Gram from the airport and arrived with a ready to assemble cake (BB had already baked the cake...it just needed to be put together and decorated). Gram and BB carefully decorated this teddybear with a steady hand and lots of laughter!
