Our little girl's big day!

Anaston's actual 2nd birthday fell on a Sunday. So we did all the hype the weekend before with her little birthday party and then a little get together with some of my/Annie's friends who couldn't make the party and thought her birhday would be more low key...not so much! I was like a kid who couldn't sleep on Christmas Eve up EARLY in the morning making her special birthday breakfast. We had a fun day at church, playing and napping ant then headed to my parents where she opened the presents Brian and I got her, followed by my mom's Christmas party she threw for our family where we had soup, decorated stockings and sugar cookies. It fell on the perfect day...she got to share her special day with family, her favorite place to be.

Good morning, sunshine!
Annie and her Mickey pancakes with buttermilk syrup, turkey and OJ...a favorite of her's.

Explaining Dora's map to the north pole for me. I lvoe when she says bridge and river...especially North Pole...to cute!

Had to ride her bike first thing of course!

My sweet little birthday girl

My mom got her this countdown to Christmas the day before and even though we couldn't start it for another day she just couldn't wait so I let her and refilled that box for the next day! ha

Dancing to Dora, it was so cute! She was putting on a show for me and Daddy!

The peak of her day...brushing her teeth...not even kidding!

All ready for church!

Not wanting me to take pic's...too bad!

She looked TOO cute for words!

The Martha Stewart banner I put together and hung in her room.

Opening her Mickey bat, ball and glove. She is loving having her own "ball ball set like Daddy's" in her exact words

She was so cute and so excited opening her presents!

"Aw...cute pants!" says Anaston.

Who's ready wo play with my new water table?!?

She was in heaven! Between the play dough set, her water table and her bat and ball set, she had a blast ALL NIGHT LONG!!!

All done...let me in!

Playing ball with Daddy!

The cute little ornament table.

I got a Dora candle for Annie to stick on her decorated sugar cookie.

Everybody sang to her and she loved it!...and she got to blow out her own candle this time!(ha ha, love you Vancie pants)
