This is the REAL day, the REAL birthday and here is our birthday girl. I cannot believe how amazed I am that Harper is already 2 years old. I think every parent can testify that the days are long but the years go by so fast...and it is so true. Especially since Reiss' arrival I constantly find myself looking at Harpers little parts- her fingers, her legs, and her body in total disbelief that this is our 1st baby. We all want to freeze them at this great stage, after all she is the reason we wanted another baby...she made/makes life so fun.
Is this a classic first day of school shot...harper in her birthday dress from Kat and Papa.
We started our morning with homemade doughnuts from REAL FOOD. A few of Harpers friends were able to come join us...what toddler would turn down doughnuts with sugar on top?
Katherine and Teddy enjoying their treats...
The gang...Sophia holding court with all ears from Tommy, Shannon and Harper.
Mmmm, Mmmmm, Finger lick'in good!
Later we added to the day of treats with a popsicle with Grandpa.
Brian and Erin stopped by with a special birthday gift...and stayed to read it with her. It is now one of our favorites, Harper can almost read it to us now.
Noni and Harper playing with her ladybug cake...we tried, but the heat was not on our side.
I love being sung to..."Happy Birthday to Me!" This was one of our favorite faces-pure delight!
Enjoying two of our birthday gifts...our Red Rover Dog and our Doctors Kit. Paging Dr. Heffner...
Some of our other birthday booty from the CA delegation...a new handbag (you can never have too many, right!) a new cardi and some hip sunglasses. We are ready for anything!
After a very busy, long day we tried to get one birthday shot...didn't quite work. Noted: 9pm is not the time for photos. What a Charlie Brown face!
Everything was better once we had our stethoscope back...that was what caused the meltdown, we tried to take the picture without it.
Now we are back to our normally giggly mess! Good luck getting this girl to bed!
Total adoration...
Night-Night Noni!
One last squeeze for my little girl.
