No Momma! No!

No = Snow

Caroline has gotten very excited for the snow and was bummed when it was gone.  I love the pictures of her looking out the deck door.  While I am not quite ready for snow, it is, after all, the middle of November.

The first morning she saw the snow she asked for her boots....before getting dressed and before eating breakfast.  I told her we didn't have any WINTER boots for her, just rain boots.  I got a very defeated "oh" from her.  When we had our day out Saturday together, I looked....but I couldn't bring myself to buy winter boots at this age for $30!!!  Her feet are small (size 8) and she isn't to the growing point of wearing things year after year so....NO!  XYZ Store, you can keep your over-priced toddler boots. (I even said that to Caroline in the store in front of 2 other ladies looking for a family member.  Seriously....THIRTY DOLLARS?!?!)





I love this one - She picked out her clothes and I asked her if she picked the pants because of the packets "mmmmm, yup!"  She had her hands in her pockets most the day.


Each day is a joy with this kiddo.  The things she says, the faces she makes, what she does....her big heart just keeps getting bigger!  We are beyond blessed (and spoiled) with her!

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)

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!
