So my little girl had her Second Birthday this past Saturday. Time is going by so fast, she is such a big girl. This was bitter sweet for me. Have you ever been so happy yet so sad? This just reminds me of all the Birthdays to come, that my mother will miss out on. Last year she was an hour early to the house, and got her so much stuff...that was pretty much the last time...that she had spent with her. The following months my Grandfather was so sick, she was with him in the nursing home, all the time. Then he passed and she was so busy with her sisters with making funeral arrangements, and just plain grieving. She was to come over the weekend she passed. So Saturday was just plain hard(sad.) Yet, watching Sidney at her party, and Easter it just reminds of what I have to be happy for. So, to my Mom: I miss you, and it breaks my heart you are unable to see you grand kids grow up, but you will forever live in my heart...and I will make sure you live in my daughters!! :)
We had a great turn out a lot more people than we had last year. A big thank you to everyone who came...and all the great gifts. We were able to buy her a swing set for outside, she got a ton of cute clothes...and two very sweet baby dolls. That I might mention she has not stopped playing with. We even had to take them both in the car with us!!
Later that night we went out to eat with my in-laws...and lets just say that we had a taste of the terrible two's.. She would not sit in her booster chair, she kept throwing things across the table...she was a real toot!!! However this is with out a nap!!
Easter was pretty much quite, we did not really do much. Sid and I watched a couple of movies, and we had a Easter egg hunt in the front yard when daddy got home, it was so fun to watch. Eggs flying everywhere. We would run, fall, get up, pick up a egg, and then three would fall out of her big basket. Too funny!! We will have to start a better tradition, maybe have a family dinner...we will see!!
She is so stinkin' cute. I wish we could have made the party, but we had just gotten back from Great Wolf Lodge and had just gotten Olivia back after a couple of days without her. I'm glad Sidney had a good turn out. I'm getting a tutu ready for her. Sorry she didn't have it for her actual birthday. And, the table looks amazing!
