Happy Birthday is a song we can all enjoy. Even if you're the birthday girl, you can sing it to yourself. And then you can refuse categorically to have *anything* to do with blowing out the candles, clinging to your father as if you're about to be burned at the stake (by said birthday candles) if you let go.
Also, an activity involving planting seeds at a 2-year party goes over very well. The seeds will not all get planted, some of the dirt will get scattered on the driveway, some nameless older sister will plant 4-5 pots herself, the kids will get pretty dirty, and a good time will be had by all.
When you're two, it's good to have an older sister to bring your gifts to you and help you open them, because otherwise you might get too involved in admiring one present and forget about all the others. Also, if you get a beautiful crown as one of your gifts, one that has ribbons and streamers coming off of it and a beautiful flower on it, it will be a most admired gift. You will refuse to wear it for longer than 3 seconds, but you will love it all the same.
Banana bread with chocolate chips works very well for a birthday cake, especially if bananas are your absolute favorite food on the entire planet.
