For my second birthday party, we went to Clay's, a super fun family restaurant that has a petting zoo, sand play area, a great patio, a big grassy area to run around, and PONY RIDES! And yummy food, too. So many people came to celebrate with me... Nan, Granddad, Grandma, Poppy, Aunt Becky, Uncle Scott, Cousin Avery, Aunt Marian, Uncle Dan, Cousins Lauren, Taylor, Drew, Uncle Jamie, Ms. Catherine, Mr. Travis, Luke, baby Molly, Mr. Casey, Ms. Laura, Caden, Aubi, Grammy Tammy, Mitch, Millard, and Ms. Julie. We all had a fun-tastic time!
The party had just started, but I discovered the present stash!
Here are some of my favorite people! Others not pictured are still favorites, though!
Speaking of favorite, my birthday party theme was Minnie Mouse. Mommy made all of these headbands- aren't they so cute on baby Molly? I liked them, but didn't want to wear them.
Time to check out the animals!
Nan made this birthday cake just for me! It's Minnie Mouse! Plus cupcakes... I don't know how this day can get any better!
More party decorations!
Daddy gets my candles ready for the "Happy Birthday" song. Caden is supervising.
Listening to everyone sing "Happy Birthday." And yes, I snuck a little bit of the black frosting!
"Yay! All this singing is for me!"
Daddy helped me blow out the candles!
"Hmm... Wonder what I should wish for?"
"Cupcakes! That's what I wished for!" (I definitely loved my cake, too! I've made some growth in my sweet treat appreciation since last year!)
See, I told you the Minnie ears were cute. All of the grown-ups have them!
"You said there is ice cream, too?"
"Heehee, birthdays are the best!"
All smiles and giggles today for me! (And no, this has nothing to do with the amount of sugar I have consumed.)
I love my Daddy!
So many presents to open, it's a good thing I had my friends to help me! Cousin Avery, Luke, Caden, and Millard helped me get everything opened. Thanks everybody, I am one blessed little girl!
Me and my crew in action.
After opening presents, it was time for pony rides! Mommy thought she had to walk with me and the pony guy...
...But I could do it all by myself! Yee-haw! I'm a cowgirl!
Taking a minute to stop and think. Thank you, everyone, for helping me have such a special day! I can't even begin to describe how blessed I am!
