Chica's Second Birthday

Two years ago today, I gave birth to this:

This smooshy, adorable-cheeked, never-sleeping bundle of love and joy that changed my life forever--for the better:

And now, she's all growd up--to the ripe, old age of TWO (I mean, she's practically a savior citizen!), and I cannot for the life of me figure out how that happened, since I, myself, have not aged a single day.

;)

Though the official party is tomorrow, we had plenty 'o fun today. Starting with birthday pancakes and a new shopping cart with play food...

Followed by a trip to the bookstore that happened to fall during a sleepy time...

But she perked right back up for an uber-special trip to pick out some birthday jewelry...

If Mama's lucky, she might--might--get to borrow some. Girl's got good taste...

And to add to that good taste, now she has a second princess dress (that she wanted to show her sister)...

She's a blessed little girl.

But not nearly as blessed as her parents.

I love my girls.
