Two Much Fun

Today m'baby is officially two, but it seems anti-climatic after the week of celebrations we've been having.

We had a really fun week, full of lots of visits, treats, presents, friends & family. We topped it off yesterday with a rockin' party in the backyard.

We decided to keep it really small this year, only family and the close friends that are Talia's local honorary aunties. Even so, it was quite a crowd. Tons of burgers, hotdogs, pasta salads, the broccoli salad I've been talking about all week, cake, cupcakes & ice cream were on the menu. The kids played outside in the kiddie pool, the big pool, and with all the new outdoor toys. We are lucky to have such good friends and family who came to celebrate with us.

And of course, we took the Bear picture. What a difference 2 years makes:

It's going way too fast. I love what an independent, grown-up, diaperless little girl she has become, but I was secretly happy to briefly get a glimpse of my baby again tonight when she had her big, cloth night-time diaper and Spiderman jammies on!!!
