You had a truly wonderful 2nd birthday! The night before Daddy and I stayed up late and wrapped all your presents, assembled your new slide, and got everything ready for you to enjoy the second you woke up in the morning! Daddy even made a midnight trip to Walmart to get princess wrapping paper, a singing Dora card, and a Winnie the Pooh ballon! :) This is what you saw when you woke up:

Of course, when you FIRST woke up we video-taped us singing the Happy Birthday song when Daddy got you out of bed. It's gloriously off-key and completely terrible, you may want to turn the volume down (or off completely) when you watch it. ;)
The first order on the birthday agenda was present-opening!!! You had a blast (and so did Ben) tearing into all the presents! You loved ALL of your gifts, you were so blessed by your grandparents and aunts and uncles! So many fun new things!!
After presents you had some delicious pancakes and strawberries- your favorite! You even donned your new crown (that Ben picked out and gave you for your birthday) and ate in style. ;)
Your gift from us was your new slide (and some new pajama's), and let me tell you- it was a HIT! You and Ben both had a blast sliding over and over and over again! It made your Dad and I so happy because we were SO stumped as to what we should get you! You already have lots of fun 2 year old toys (from when Ben was 2) and we really pondered it up until the very last minute. I'm so glad we decided on that, and you have been enjoying it ever since you laid eyes on it! :) You had fun sliding on it yourself, as well as sliding your side-kick Winnie the Pooh!
Just like last year you were rockin' a seriously cute birthday ensemble, so naturally we did a little birthday photoshoot! You were such a good sport and smiled like a pro! Before we took you out to lunch (Pluckers of course!!) we got some family shots as well. :)
After lunch we came home and you had a nice, refreshing nap! After your nap you were up and ready for some more birthday fun! You played hard and got lots of phone calls, and even a Skype call, from family members who love you SO much! Then at dinner time you enjoyed your favorite meal- spaghetti, and then it was time for cake!! I made another delicious egg-less creation for you again this year and it was enjoyed by all! :)
You had such a great day, Bella. You went to bed loving your new Winnie the Pooh from Bessa and Papa and your new Bitty Baby from Grandma and Granddad and wearing your new pi's from Dad and I. You look pretty happy I'd say... ;)
We love you so very much. You are such a little spunky ball of joy and it is contagious to everyone who lays eyes on you. We are so thankful that God gave us you. :)
Happy Birthday sweet baby girl!
Love Forever,
Mommy
