Annie was a princess for a day!

My baby is 2! I can't believe it. She had such a great time on her special birthday and is still, two weeks later, singing "happy busday to you, happy busday to you" everywhere she goes! The day started off with a special lunch with Grandma and then a trip to "Build-a-Bear!" Now, because our previous visits to this store had ended in screaming tantrums (we hadn't ever let her get anything there), she was a little leary, and at first, would not let go of ANYTHING we let her touch!





She was terrified of the bear stuffing machine and we could all tell she was 100% focused on one thing: Making OUT of the store with her Bear and all it's accessories- no matter the cost! When she finally DID make it out to the car- and the coast was clear of anyone who might attempt to rob her of her princess bear- she was exhausted and only managed a quiet "Tank you Gwamma." Before she and Bear fell asleep!



Soon after we got home, we met friends at the park for a little party time! We had food and the kids played and Annie had this constant look on her face like, "Is this really ALL FOR ME???" "Would somebody pinch me please?" It was adorable.









Here she is proudly exclaiming- "I'm TWO!!"



By the way, this TinkerBell balloon is still hanging in there- its still floating after 2 + weeks now!
Now, If only time would slow down a little! :(
