We celebrated it many times ...
1) First with Daddy making her a strawberry pie one evening, we placed two tall candles and the three of us sang Happy Birthday to her (she doesn't know how to blow out candles yet);
2) The next day on her actual birthday we took her to a Gymboree class where she had fun doing her own thing while all the other two-year old's bounced around with their moms and the instructor.
3) The next night we went to Outback and let her enjoy wait staff strangers sing to her along with some free ice cream - she didn't know what to think about that.
4) Then we drove down to Tampa and had another little family cake and candle-blowing out gathering with just my mom and brother and us and some nifty doll and stroller presents.
5) Then the day after that we had another party at the park stacked full of immediate family and friends and kids, playgrounds and picnic fare with the perfect Mickey and Minnie Mouse cupcake birthday cake to celebrate her and Mason's birthdays. It was a bit windy, but the kids had a good time.
