Annabelle' 2nd Birthday!

We had a wonderful time celebrating Annabelle's 2nd Birthday! We started the morning off by getting some pictures taken. Since I am 2 weeks away from delivering Maggie, we decided to get some "maternity" pics with me and Annabelle as well as her birthday pictures! They will not be ready until April 22nd so you will have to wait to see them, but they turned out really cute!

Then we went to meet Daddy for lunch, but this time Annabelle was OVER hungry and OVER tired so I can't say that the lunch was enjoyed by all-but Annabelle did LOVE seeing her Daddy in the middle of the day!

Shortly after Annabelle woke up from her nap, her birthday party quests starting to arrive and we had a WONDERFUL evening celebrating our little 2 yr old with family and friends! I made a couple of different kinds of pasta and then we had some cupcakes that all the kids seemed to really enjoy! I realized later-I never really got to eat the food or the cupcakes so I hope they were good :)

After eating, we opened presents....OH MY GOODNESS---this was a chore! I was Exhausted by the end of the experience but Annabelle seemed to have a great time discovering new treasures! It has been sooooooo fun the last few days watching her play with new toys! It is so neat to see what comes out of her personality when a new toy is given to her. She is pretty intense about figuring things out at first and then she starts to play and imagine. I love watching her. She has so many new spring clothes and Pjs and awesome "big girl" toys! THANK YOU SO MUCH for helping get her stocked for fun in the coming months!

She was so tired by the time she finally got to go to bed-but we had a great day celebrating her life and all that God has blessed us with in our lives! SO GRATEFUL for all that the gifts he bestows on us!
