Our Girl is 2 Years Old!


It's hard to believe that it has been 2 years since our angel was born. Time seems to fly by...but in other ways, I can't really remember life before she came. She IS our life, and we feel so blessed to have her!

Today we celebrated her birthday at Cherry Park with friends! It was a blast!!! The kids had a good time, the adults had a good time...what more can you ask for...

Here are some of the highlights!


Beautiful Birthday Girl!


Everyone getting dished up with yummy food! We had hot dogs, chips, potato salad, soda...and of course...CAKE!!!


Sitting down to eat...friends...Denali, Scarlett, Annalyse and Lyndsey...Please note the VERY large Cheeto looking things...they were a HUGE hit with the kids...notice they are on everyone's plate. Good job, Daddy for finding such fun chips!!!


Goofy friends...Madison and Kelsey...


Friends...Dylan and Savannah...


Birthday Girl!


Friends...Shayla and Josie...


As we were calling the kids over to do the birthday cake and singing, Abbie tripped and fell...she was bawling her head off...Not a good way to start the festive cake cutting...but as you will see...distractions work on 2 year olds!!!


Abbie was being distracted from her fall, by me lighting the candles...


"I like everyone singing to me!!!"


Make a wish and blow those candles out!


Keep blowing HARD!!!


Yah-hoo!!! Now her wishes will come true!!!


My first attempt at cake decorating...Abbie loved her Abby Cadabby cake!!! Doesn't take much to impress a 2 year old!!!


Checking out the cake with her friends...


Poking Abby Cadabby's frosting eyes...hummmm...what does this feel like?

With all that hair she looks so much older than my two year old!! She's so cute. I love perfect little pigtails!
