November 28th was Maiya's 2nd birthday....can't believe she's already 2!
The Dora cake was a big hit (and lucky for an unorganized mom was available from the bakery at the last minute!!).
She had an extended birthday weekend, with my Uncle John, Aunt Wendy & "Kissteen" coming over for a last minute celebration, along with Auntie Rhonda & Gavin. 
Maiya clearly enjoyed the sugar rush....and I'm sure she'll thank us for this picture when she's older!
She was well-spoiled with presents, and loves her new Wonder Pets Flyboat and all-things Dora.
Being 2 can sure tire a girl out!
Poppa & Grandma, Mel, and Hodak & Max came by on the Sunday for more Dora cake & presents.
All in all, it was a great birthday. We made a donation to the TDH Dragonfly Campaign (TDH is the organization through which Maiya's adoption was completed) to celebrate Maiya's birth, to honour her birth family who are especially close to our hearts on this day, and to support the many children in orphanages in Vietnam who need medical care, milk, food, educational supplies, and other basic necessities. Our hearts and thoughts are also with them.Happy Birthday, monkey!
