Happy Birthday Mia!

My baby's 2! I know everyone always says it, but I can't believe it! Well, I can and I can't. It seems like just yesterday that she was born, but at the same time, there's no doubt that she's a full-blown 2 year old. Strong will, independence and tantrums are in full swing. I have to pray for patience each and every day. Seriously.

So we had a little party for her this past Friday night. Her Grammy B. was in town for the festivities, which was fun. Without really meaning for it to be, it turned into a mostly Elmo themed party. Elmo hats, Elmo balloons, Elmo bouncy balls, Elmo cards and wrapping paper. What can I say-- the girl loves Elmo! No Elmo cake though-- Mia had discovered cupcakes a few weeks before at one of her little friend's parties and thought they were just to die for so, I made chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting and multi-colored sprinkles. She liked them, but I have to confess that I've eaten WAY more cupcakes than she has!
Mia got lots of great gifts. One of her faves was a little stroller for her dolls. She is starting to like dolls and get into pretend play now. However, she's more excited about wheeling her Elmo doll around in the stroller or squeezing her little behind into the doll stroller. ;)

Great fun! Wish I was there! She is getting to be such a little girl (not looking like a baby):D} I love that you made everything so special for Mia Ana! It is cute that she has a favorite meal and that it is a grow up meal at that:D}
