Party Time

I knew there was a reason I loved this age (minus all the "terrible two" nonsense). Marlee made turning two seem like the most magical experience of ones life. She didn't stop smiling throughout the whole party and enjoyed having her little friends there to celebrate with her. Marlee has grown to love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so I thought why not have a Minnie Mouse birthday party. She actually asked for a Goofy cake but Minnie was a whole lot easier to make.

Making birthday cakes has become one for my favorite things about being a mom (among many others).

Suzi and Kester were of course among the guest which made Marlee's day. She LOVES Kester and Suzi and is constantly asking about them

The adorable little "Minnie Mouses"

And of course 2 more candles to blow out. Luckily she didn't try to play with the fire. It was definitely something I thought she would do.

Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating this day with us. We had a great time.

She's 2

Well, she's 2! My little lady is two years old. Where has time gone? She is the most energetic little thing. She never misses a beat. She is talking up a storm and loves to "explore" usually getting into things which are off limits. Time-out doesn't work on her at all, in fact she likes it and often puts herself in it. She hates kisses and will immediately wipe them off. She is addicted to gum and pop. She asked for one or both at least 4 times a day. We love her sweet personality and can't believe she's already two.

Birthday morning.
Tigger is always dressed (diaper included) and ready for each new day

Birthday Lunch at the one and only McDonald's

She's my little batter-eater. We celebrated on Wednesday (her actual b-day) with cupcakes and presents from family. Uncle Nick came over to celebrate with us.

She loved blowing out her candles

And eating her cupcake, of course

She loved all her present especially the phone she got from Aunt Krista. She had recorded a message on it so when Marlee opened it she pressed play and heard auntie Krista talking. She thought she was really on the phone though so for the next 10 minutes she walked around talking to Krista and waiting for a response which never came. It was hilarious.
