Birthday Girl

My Baby Girl is 2 years old!! We were looking forward to this past weekend for two reasons...to celebrate A's birthday with the added bonus of beautiful weather, which we definitely took advantage of by going to the Zoo on Saturday. It was a lot of fun and tiring both Z & A were worn out by the time we got home. That evening we went to some friend's house to have dinner and the kids absolutely loved being there. Quite the eventful day!

They are becoming such good friends

Z loves beeing silly in pictures

Z and "his Boy" (that is what he calls Daddy)

Wouldn't be a trip to the Zoo w/out a Carousel ride

Lovin' the Tortoise & Monkey

One of the favorite animals

Sunday we went to church and this was the 1st Sunday that we didn't have problems with either Z or A going to Sunbeams or Nursery...YEAH we have definitely made progress with that hurdle. After church we baked A's cake, she chose Elmo, and while they were taking naps Mommy decorated it. Of course yummy dinner and the best part of all....presents and cake & ice cream. A even started singing to herself as we sang "Happy Birthday" to her. It was a great weekend and we all loved the time being together as a family.
