Our little girl is 2! I can't believe how fast the last two years have gone. Every stage has been more and more fun and I am continually amazed at the things Emalyn is learning! She is talking up a storm... literally never stops talking, and just started singing... all. the. time. She knows all of Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman! She is still a super particular eater but I do think she is actually starting to grow a little! :) We go for her 2 year appointment next week so we will see!
With Jessica's wedding in December and Craig on a really busy rotation, I was considering doing something really really low key for Emalyn's birthday, but who knew, she learned what a birthday party was and really wanted to have one! :) It worked out perfectly because Craig had off the 14th (just a few days before Emalyn's birthday and NOT Jessica's wedding weekend). So we rented out Gabrielle's gym here in town to celebrate! She told us she wanted pink cupcakes at her party, so that is what we did!
We opened some family presents at the house before the party. Mimi and Pop told her to close her eyes :)
I just love watching these two girls grow up together... and it's just beginning!
The most adorable cooking attire set ever!
The gym was so much fun! Most of the pictures are blurry because Emalyn was running around like a mad woman, but here are a few!
We had our 'party' after play time and Emalyn was so excited! She had been singing 'happy birthday to me' for a week, so the real deal was a big hit!
Emalyn and I drove to Boerne on the 18th while daddy was at work, so we celebrated with her on Tuesday evening. She has loved checking the mail this month with all the birthday and christmas fun!
We made the big time parenting mistake of not putting this together before she opened it... she immediately wanted it put together and with both of us working on it, it still took 45 minutes! Finally got it though and she loves it! :)
We love you sweet girl! Happy birthday!
