Happy 2nd Birthday Willow!

This summer I've been working on catching up on scrapbooking, and have been working my way through 2009, the year Willow was born.  It brings back so many memories.  It's amazing to me that my baby girl is 2 years old already. 

She was my easiest labor and delivery, and my hardest baby.  She has a larger than life attitude and can be quite stubborn, but is so much fun and brings so many smiles and laughter to our house.  We love you, Willow!

I think celebrating the 2nd birthday is one of the most fun birthdays.  It's the first birthday where they are able to really grasp the concept of "my birthday" and presents.  We celebrated Willow's birthday at our house with my side of the family, and her actual birthday at the beach with Nana and Papa.

 The traditional ice cream cake.  You might notice the candles are missing (yep, I forgot to get some)....we let her take a bite out of the cake instead  :)

 Wearing the adorable dress up clothes from Charity.

 Snuggling with Grammy and the new baby Grammy got her.

 Modeling more dress ups.  This was the year of dress up clothes and baby dolls. 

 She has lots of "help" opening the presents!

 How fun!  More dress up clothes!

Journey has just discovered one of the funnest parts of having a sister.....She gets to play with all the new toys too!
