a princess sort of day

this girl,
she is two..
and OF COURSE we celebrated in our usual fashion..
all day long.

is there any other way?

we started the day very, VERY bright and early.
balloons awaited miss. louise and she was all shades of happy about it.
i love this picture.. she looks like my baby still.
*sigh*
it feels like that doesn't happen much anymore.
after all, she is two .
:)

she also got to open her presents from mommy, daddy, and sissy.. all with that crazy bed head that never ceases to amaze.

aren't my jammie girls cute?
and yes, minie usually does shed her pants somewhere in the night.
me thinks it's a little bit adorable..
so don't be hatin'.

birthday breakfast.. a must.

daddy took the day off to join in the celebrating, so after breakfast we packed up and headed to the aquarium. i forot the camera... and it was short and sweet anyway. we attempted lunch at the NASTY cafe there.
just trust me... don't eat.

and then it was time for the much anticipated princess party.
i swore i never would allow the cheesy cliche princesses take over my life once i had kids.
so yes, you can just add that to the very long list of things i do that i swore "i'd never!"

and duh... she loved it.

cuteness in form of some of our birthday guests.

a little pinata action.

MORE presents..
this resulted in many tears, many shouts of glee, and then some more tears.
birthdays are difficult for the 5 and under crowd.
understandably so..

and finally one last birthday wish to sum up the day.

princess girl-
we loved celebrating every delicious bit of you!
