Happy 2nd Birthday Sarah Jane.

We celebrated Sarah's birthday at home and then threw her a big family party over the weekend. The party was lots of fun and we had all of Sarah's cousins there (minus the three that live in Washington). Matt had to make a last minute run to burger king to get some crowns for the boys because I had cute stuff for the girls and nothing fun for them! I really tried finding something for the boys before the day of, but the best I could find were plastic swords and I knew much better than to hand them over to a group of wild boys at a party!
I'm so happy to see Sarah growing up and I'm already amazed at how much she changed in just two years! I'm so thankful to have her and her sweet personality in my life. I've really enjoyed hearing what she is thinking about now that is starting to talk! The majority of what she has to say is about treats, Briggy and her family! She is so lucky to have so many cousins around her age to play with! Happy Birthday to our little raccoon, rah-rah, boo-boo, aahh-jane, little girl!

This is Sarah celebrating her birthday with us. She loves her Daddy!

Of course I did a homemade crazy birthday cake for her big party like I always do for both my kids. This year it was a pink and purple pony for Sarah. I used the same cake mold that was used for my birthday when I was a kid and in love with "My Little Ponies". I knew I had better use it this year before Sarah is old enough to choose what cake she wants because kids never choose what mommy wants!

Sarah fell asleep while everyone was eating pizza and I was worried for a little bit that she wouldn't wake up to open her presents and blow out the candles!
