The "Terribly Fun" Twos!!!



We recently had a new milestone at our house - Mia turned 2!!!  It is amazing what a difference a year can make - at last year's party, she didn't even have teeth yet!  Not only does she now have a full set of teeth, but she was able to run around, play with her friends, enjoy all of the food, talk to everyone and have a great time at her party! 

Since Mia is a big fan of Sesame Street, we had an Abby Cadabby party for our little fairy-in-training, complete with decorations, wands, stickers a menu from the Flying Fairy School, an Abby Cadabby temporary tattoo station (thanks to Auntie Theresa!), and a pull-string piƱata.  We were very lucky to have a sunny day so the kids could enjoy the sprinkler and kiddie pool in the summer weather - it was such a fun day and the perfect way to celebrate Mia's special day!

For her actual birthday (which was the day after her party), we took Mia to Davis Farmland, which was an impressive and very interactive farm with animals, a bounce house, play areas, and a splash park.  Some highlights from the day included Mia holding a newborn goat, riding a pony, brushing the pony's hair, and of course getting soaked with water and bubbles at the splash park!

Here are some photos from the birthday festivities - we are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends and we are looking forward to another great year!!!
