Have some cake.
You may want more than that. Our second birthday celebrations lasted for over a month, from the end of June 2010 to the beginning of August, as our team blogged on the theme of 'five', as follows:
Keren David's top five school stories
Five villains Ellen Renner loves to hate
Joan Lennon's five favourite photos from ABBA posts
Lynda Waterhouse's five foul weather friends
Five characters Sue Purkiss would like to meet
Five fabulous forays into Faerie with Lucy Coats
Five ways Anne Cassidy gets rid of the adults
Five fantastic routes into the past with Leslie Wilson
Five forms of howler, shared by Michelle Lovric
Marie-Louise Jensen's five favourite teen romances
Five things on Penny Dolan's desk
Five children's books Karen Ball wishes she'd written
Gillian Philip's choice of five barnstorming books-to-movies
Rather more than five Year Seven and Year Five top reads, as recommended to Savita Kalhan
Five of Elen Caldecott's favourite apocalypses
Andrew Strong's five favourite epiphanies in children's literature
Meg Harper's five tips for visiting authors
Five things Leila Rasheed didn’t know until she got published
Dianne Hofmeyr's five favourite picturebook beasties
Five nostalgic crossover experiences shared by Adèle Geras
Five things no writer - very definitely including Celia Rees - wants to hear
Five things Miriam Halahmy, as a writer, can't live without
Five things Anne Rooney, as a writer, uses every day
Five great depictions of childhood in novels for adults, as loved by John Dougherty
Linda Strachan's five things to keep you writing (and writing fit)
Five questions they always ask Ellen Renner during school visits
Five books that went under the radar, spotted by Catherine Johnson
N M Browne's five ways to write
Five mythical hero(in)es chosen by Charlie (aka Cathy) Butler
Hope you enjoy browsing through those - and at 4.00pm we'll revisit our third, and so far most spectacular, birthday! But don't forget to check in and see who else has joined the party in the meantime.

very happy birthday, ABBA. For five years you've been a wonderful patchwork quilt of variety and interest. May we still be celebrating when you're 50.
Great post so many fascinating lists!
Five is my favourite number. (How can you have a favourite number!?) What fun - thank you AABBA.
A very happy birthday to all my chums at ABBA. As an ABBA reviewer, if not a blogger, I am very proud to belong to such a great organisation/blog etc. You are all splendid and I will revisit the blog at my leisure to see all the FIVES people have put up! Here's to the next five years.
OH gosh...I see what's happened.....it's the fives from the SECOND birthday....silly me!
