2 Years Old!

My baby turned two this weekend, and we celebrated (as usual) in grand style with many birthday celebrations.

The first one took place on Saturday morning when we held a farm-style birthday party with her little friends. We decked the place out in farm regalia, ate a classic "brunch on the farm," enjoyed bluegrass music, and danced/pranced/leaped/twirled/clapped/promenaded/etc to the children's book, "The Barnyard Dance." What fun we had celebrating Emily Jayne's second birthday!



Anxious for her friends to arrive

What is it?


Wearing her new apron to open her babydoll


Party favors = I made personalized farm tshirts
Not easy trying to get 4 little ones to sit still for a group picture!


The balloon did the trick!








This is what a 2 year old looks like after birthday cake and partying all morning


Happy Birthday sweet Emily! Mommy & Daddy love you so very much!!

Weekend 'o celebrations for sure! She's a special girl that deserves special attention. And great job to mom for all the hard work. Her farm party was a blast, if I do say so myself :)

Yay! She looks adorable in the apron :) Hope she enjoys "cooking" in it! Did you know that Vera Bradley is made in Fort Wayne? Happy Birthday Emily!!
