Happy 2nd Birthday!

What a wonderful birthday weekend little Miss Adaline had! As you can see from her smile, she loved her birthday!

This picture is actually out of place, but I was too lazy to move it at this point - and what great smiles to start with anyway!

Adaline typically loves barbecue, so we got that for our family lunch - but, alas... She was more interested in the birthday presents that had been tempting her on the hearth all day! She kept repeating "birthday, birthday, birthday" during lunch, making sure we remembered her presents! All she really ate was bread and birthday cake, which made for a hyperactive two-year old!

It was such fun watching Adaline, Matthew, and Christopher all together - Adaline's cousins showed her what fun a birthday party can be for kids!

I honestly think Adaline needed little to no help blowing out her candles, but Mom and Dad, of course, were there for moral support...

Adaline's family spoiled her rotten - and Bryan and I are so appreciative of everyone who was able to be there. They were very generous with both their gifts and their time!

Auntie Amy gave Adaline this darling duck pillow - Adaline is now sleeping with it, she loves it so much!

I promise she isn't crying - this is her posed "smile!" She has loved playing with her tea set.

What you can't see in this picture is that Adaline put her tea set in her new golf cart... I suppose she really is a girly-girl! I mentioned to Bryan that she might want to be a cart girl one day, and he said "absolutely NOT!" Ha!
Christopher showed us how talented he is with sport! I forget his final score at golf, but he might have beat Uncle Bryan!

Uncle John seemed to know a thing or two about kid's telephones... He enjoyed showing Adaline how to turn the volume up! :)

Adaline got lots of fun new books, and she asked almost everyone to read one to her that evening.

Thanks again to everyone who was part of Adaline's second birthday, whether in person or in their hearts - we have a wonderful family and feel so blessed.
