Happy SECOND(??) Birthday Sweetpea!

Somehow our daughter is TWO already!  Huh?? :)

We celebrated Saturday with family with a Winnie the Pooh theme.  She got excited when she saw Pooh!  She had a GREAT time!

Here are some pictures of the party!  She was SO cute each time she opened a gift she made the surprised face and was VERY excited about each one.  Such a sweetheart!

Honey pot cake for the birthday girl!
Kanga and Roo's Cakes
Judah got a treat bag

He wasn't opening it fast enough for her...she was trying to help. :)  Sorry Aunt Jen!
Decorations....Owl's Wisdowm - Words of Wisdom book for her to look back on, Winnie the Pooh quotes
Food!  Pulled pork sandwiches, Piglets in a blanket, Rabbits Garden (veggie tray), Eeyore's Howse Sticks (pretzel sticks), Tigger Tails (cheese curls), Gopher's Drinking Hole (drinks)


Christopher Robbin's Gifts
Pooh's Thotful Spot

I LOVED that her room was a disaster....her and Judah had a BLAST together (well, Caroline had a blast...I think Judah did...hehe)
BALLOONS!!!!!
Peanut and Lil Man looking out to the deck...
Go, go.  Judah go!  (She helped him ride down the hall)
Judah getting a head start and Caroline patiently waiting for her plate.  She did VERY well sitting beside him while he ate and she waited.
She was SO excited for each gift.  I loved seeing her excitement!
Red ball from Aunt Julie and Uncle Keith and a purple ball from Rachel!
messy face!!!!!  She loved her honey pot cake and almost ate the WHOLE THING!
Asking Judah what the letters are.  (Jen was asking him and Caroline joined Aunt Jen)
Twins! :)
Coloring with Poppa!  She went back to being Poppa's girl after Judah left. :)
The calm after the storm.....


These are out of order....

necklaces, bracelets, and rings from Poppa and Neena
Happy Birthday to you!

Judah made a card for her
She's still not sure of Eeyore and sometimes Tigger.  She's ok with Pooh but they sleep in the living room for now...
playdoh!

bean bag!
mommy failing at helping blow out the candle.
she dove in shortly after this picture. :)

It was a great day!  Beautiful weather and she had a fun time!!!!  I'll be that mother/parent but it truly does feel like it was just yesterday we were at the hospital welcoming her into our lives.

She's such a HUGE blessing and doing so well.  Growing well, learning so much, and such a sweet heart.  She helps put groceries, dishes, toys, laundry, anything away.  Most the time without being asked.  She doesn't complain about it either.  She is constantly wanting to help.  I love her sweet heart and want to serve.  We couldn't have asked for a better little girl!

We love you sweetpea!  Happy 2nd birthday Caroline Ann!

Happy Easter
