A Rainbow Birthday

We got some cute 2 year old pics of the little miss. She was quite the character during the shoot. She ran out of the studio area numerous times and told us no quite a few times; very nicely but still. We are working on our manners even more than before needless to say. But it was actually a load of fun. I think they caught her spicy personality.

The party was so much fun. There were definitely a lot of kiddos but they were all well behaved and had fun painting their rainbow art pieces. We used a company called Abrakadoodle and they were great! You could pick from hundred of art projects for all ages.

Here are a few pics from the party...

Happy Birthday!!!

We can't believe little is 2 years old! It still feels like we just brought her home from the hospital.We filled her room with balloons as a surprise when she woke up this morning. She loved it and immediately asked for cake. Sweet tooth, um yes! I can't wait for her birthday party when there are 9 little girls sassing it up!!!

I tried to get some pics of her today, but in typical toddler fashion she was not having it. She found other things to bide her time.

Balloons make good chairs while doing some light reading..

She insisted on kicking balloons around and yelling out "kick," everytime she kicked one. She laughed at herself the entire time.

TROUBLE!!!

This is the look I got when I asked if I could take some pictures.

Happy 2012!

Happy New Year!

We spent our NYE with the B Fam at our annual Benihanas NYE dinner. The kiddos gave us a run for our money this year. They spent most of the time looking out the window at the fountains. Which turned out to be a blessing. It was the only way were going to be able to eat our food.

Action-Packed Christmas

We were so blessed to be able to spend Christmas with both sets of grandparents this year and boy did someone LOVE all the attention! We went to the Christmas mass at our church and with such large attendance some priests were called in to help. While waiting for mass to start the Father came up to us and asked if we would bring C up to the front went he started talking about baby Jesus. We of course of obliged!

While the mass was going on my mom kept saying to herself his name sounds too familiar. Well....a light bulb went off and he was the priest that married my parents 33 years ago and baptized me. Small world!

Hamming it up for Uncle M

She is totally bored with us with all the attention from the grandparents...can you tell!?!

Yum...milk!

Time for presents! This girl is set for quite awhile. She started with quote the burst of energy and excitement but that soon tapered off. Nothing a little milk and breakfast can't fix. She was recharged and opened more gifts while playing with gifts she already opened. For the rest of the day she mentioned presents about 100 times. We reassured her this only happens one day a year.
