Time to Par-Tay!

It’s hard to believe, but our Little Miss turned TWO on July 9th. Her birthday turned into more of a birth-month, as our Little Party Animal asked Daddy and me to sing the “Happy Birthday” song as least 10 times a day…not just to her, but also to her friends, family, animals, toys…you name it. I even found myself singing to her sandals during one particularly fussy drive home. Desperate times call for desperate measures, people!

Here’s our Little Princess, ruling the roost in her birthday party dress.

To ring in the Little Gal’s birth in style we hosted a crazy-fun party with some of her best buddies. We were able to pull off this feat with the wonderful help of Nena and Pops (Plaxico), and Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin (Wright).

The Little Birthday Girl and her friends had a blast, splashing around in our kiddie pool (what’s not to love about a pool that is in the shape of a giraffe?!), popping bubbles, shooting water guns, and chowing down on yummy cupcakes.

Here are photos from the backyard fun…

And then the eating commenced! As the Executive Chef, baking for a toddler who likes anything sweet, I reserved the right to choose the flavor of the cupcakes. Hence, the Little Miss and her pals were served chocolate cupcakes, which boasted oreos on top, in the frosting, and hidden in the middle. It was a decadent and delicious overload of sweet yummy goodness!

It was a great day spent with great people. We are so thankful for all of the love these wonderful family and friends poured out upon our Little Miss on her birthday! (And for Josh Mugford taking photos of the event for us!)

Happy 2nd Birthday, sweet girl!

Our Baby Girl is TWO!

I can hardly believe it, but our darling Little Miss is TWO years old! That’s right…on July 9, 2010 our sweet baby girl arrived with as much pomp and circumstance as a little person could muster.

And ever since that special day she has FILLED our lives and our hearts with so much joy and laughter!

We love you, Little Miss Annabelle!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Here’s a glimpse of the start of our (Little) Birthday Girl’s day. There’s nothing like a JOLT of sugar in the morning to make a gal feel happy!

And here’s a video of our celebratory morning. Type in “belly” to watch…

The Little Miss is ONE!!!! (July 9th)

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen…we made it! Our Little Miss is ONE year old!
Happy Birthday, baby girl!

And let me tell you, the Little Party Animal had a BLAST celebrating her birthday! …Well, once she woke up from her nap, that is!

But the Little Slumberer’s fatigue was no match for all of the fun Daddy and I had in store. Surrounded by family and friends, and decked out in her new pink party dress, our girl was the Belle of the ball!

Let me ask you, what’s not to love about a bunch of fun party guests, two kiddie pools, tons of crazy-kid-squealing playtime, a yummy BBQ dinner, oodles of awesome presents, and a petting zoo?!?!? Okay, I lied about the last one…just wanted to make sure you were paying attention.
