The BIG 2!!

Saturday was Maeci's 2nd birthday. It's very hard for me to believe that 2 years has past. She has brought so much joy to our family. She is so loving. There is nothing better than a huge bear hug on your leg while cooking in the kitchen and she likes to give out a lot of those.

That evening we had my mom, Jerimae's mom and dad, Keith & Melissa and Drew & Trever over to celebrate Maeci's birthday. The theme for this year was Hello Kitty. Maeci loves cats so I thought that Hello Kitty would be a big hit for her, and it was.

Here's a few decorations:

I looked around for a Hello Kitty t-shirt for her to wear, but I never could find one, so I decided to just make one myself. So I bought her a white t-shirt and some puffy paint and here it is below:

"I'm two" (she's trying to hold up 2 fingers)

We grilled out for dinner first. Here is a picture of Grandpa and Grandma Yoder eating with all their grand kids...how sweet!!

Then we had cake and ice cream. I made her a Hello Kitty face cake.

YUM! YUM!

And finally the unveiling of the presents. Many, many presents. She made out.

Even Kaleb liked playing with her new toys!!

I think she was a little overwhelmed at first with all the new toys. She got a doll with a bunch of accessories, stroller, highchair, baby bed, baby car seat carrier, glittery purse with accessories, dress up doll, vacuum, broom, mop, new bathing suit w/cover-up, and a cute capri outfit.

The Lord has blessed us with an incredible daughter. She gets lots of love from all of us, especially her brothers. They are so good with her. I have so enjoyed watching her grow. She makes me laugh all the time.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PUNKIN!!!!
