Look who's 2!!!

Our little girl is 2!! I can't believe how quickly time passes. Two years ago she couldn't even hold her head up. Now she walks, talks and tells you how things are going to be. She has brought us so much happiness and we can't imagine life with out her.


This is just after we brought her home from the hospital

Shaun blew up (with an air compressor) all these balloons last night so we could decorate her room while she was sleeping.
Her room once it was all decorated

Shaun wanted to be here when she woke up so he could see if she like her room. She was still sleeping when he was ready to go so we woke her up. She wasn't too happy about it at first. Once she got out of bed and into the balloons she enjoyed it.

I have been hiding her Birthday and Christmas presents under my bed for the last few weeks. She found them and wasn't too happy when I wouldn't let her see them. She told everyone that her presents were hiding in mom's bed. Last night we wrapped them and put them back under our bed so she could pull them out and open them today. She opened up 2 of them and we saved one for later today.

She knows she is two, but can't hold up the fingers. We taught her to hold up both pointers to show us.


Later we met some friends for play date at Marissa's. We got started on Gingerbread Houses, had lunch and a cupcake for Anna's birthday. So far she has had a good day with lot's of calls and presents.

A Night Out

Last night we got together with the girls and our husbands for a Christmas party. We went to eat at Red Rock, which was tasty. We then went bowling at the Ritz Bowling Alley. We bowled in two groups of four and the loosing team had to buy the winning team ice cream. Unfortunately Shaun and I were on the loosing team with Josh and Marissa. We went to Maggie Moo's and paid off our debt after we got done bowling.

The loosing team...Josh, Marissa, Mandy & Shaun
Brittany, Jami, Mandy, Marissa (we were sad to not have Jen with us)
The winning team...Josh, Brittany, Doug & Jami
We had a lot of fun with everyone. I have been friends with most of these girls since elementary school. It's nice that we all still live close enough to get together with our kids and have play dates. It was even nicer to leave the kids home last night and bring our husbands.

Random pics

I stole these pictures from a my friend Lindsey's photo blog...I hope that's okay!! I haven't taken my camera anywhere with me lately, hence the lack of posts. I will try to do better this month. We went to Gardner Village a while ago with some friends from our neighborhood. These are some of the pictures taken while there.

We didn't even ask her to pose for us. She came up with this all on her own.

Lot's of cute girls for Anna to play with...Leila, Anna, Bentley, Brooklyn and Mylee.
