Happy 2nd birthday, Sadie!

We cannot believe you're two years old today! Where have the past two years gone!? 

This morning you woke up to your birthday present from Mommy and Daddy- a new kitchen! 

You've loved playing with it today- and showing it to Rah Rah and Clifton!

 our big girl 

 You and I met Clifton and Kathryn and their mommies at Chick-fil-a for lunch

 When you woke up from your nap, Rah Rah was here to see the birthday girl! 

We went for a walk to get the mail and played outside for a little while before it got dark. 

 You opened a birthday present from Rah Rah and Papa Dave- an Anna doll! 

 We had poppyseed chicken casserole for dinner and brownies a la mode for dessert.

You were an expert at blowing out your birthday candle!

 You and Clifton loved the brownies, ice cream, and chocolate sauce.

At two- years- old, some of your favorite places are home, Chick-fil-a, the Piney Wood playground, and the playground at the mall. You love playing in your kitchen, with your dolls, and outside. You love to read, do puzzles, color, and play with stickers. Your vocabulary is growing everyday and is well over 100 words right now! 

Happy birthday, sweet girl! Mommy and Daddy love you so much! 

Ladybug 1st Birthday Party

Yesterday all our family came in town to get ready to celebrate your birthday today! 

We had a busy day getting everything ready, but at 4 PM, we were ready to PARTY!

We opened presents, ate chicken n dumplings and taco soup, and enjoyed ladybug cupcakes (or in your case, a ladybug cake) and SM Cookie Lady ladybug and "1" cookies! 

Everything looked great and I couldn't have done it without everyone's help! 

I thought this "family tree" idea was fun! I collected pictures of your grandparents, aunts, uncles, Daddy, and me at (or close to) age 1. It was neat to see who you look like at this age!

I also made a ladybug 12 month picture banner! It turned out great!

Miss Carolyn helped me a ton by cutting out all the shapes for this banner, the family tree, and the "Happy Birthday Sadie" banner! She is such a wonderful friend!

Party time!

You received so many wonderful presents!

 

A neat gift from Rah Rah and Papa Dave was some of the play food (cupcakes, ice cream, and cookies) I played with when I was a little girl!

You and Clifton had fun playing with some of your new things!

After you enjoyed a bowl of taco soup, it was time for cake! 

Clifton enjoyed his ladybug cupcake too!

Your Daddy went home and grabbed a towel and whisked you off to the bath! 

But your skin where you rubbed the frosting was stained red: your face, hands, arms, legs, and belly!

It was so fun to have Rah Rah, Papa Dave, Nana, Pops, Aunt Brittany, Aunt Beth, Uncle Brad, Uncle Lee, Aunt Mel and her boyfriend Scott, and the Jacksons here to celebrate one year of you!!
