moon cake

our girl is 2!!
let the celebrations continue...we celebrated elise's 2nd birthday the day after christmas (her actual birthday)...and amidst the craziness, fun, food, laughter, presents, family, and moon cake (yes, she wanted her cake to look like the moon...she loves the moon)...our little girl has grown a little bit older, right before our eyes. i just said to justin this morning, "she looks older to me today..." and he agreed.
i am thankful for so much in our girl...
*her belly laugh
*her smile
*having nonstop conversations with her
*her kindness
*her love for her Bible
*how she reminds us to pray sometimes at dinner
*watching her play make believe
*going to the grocery store with her in strawberry sunglasses and a pair of wings
*cooking with her
*watching her wrestle and laugh with her daddy
*reading books with her in my lap
*how observant she is
*her endless questions
*her love to write, draw and paint
*seeing her light up when she sees her cousins
*getting kisses and "lisey squeezes" from her
*and so much more...
happy birthday sweetheart!

Looks like a pretty festive time! I like the new family photo too...just curious, what type of double-stroller do you have, and do you like it?

yup, festive is the word for it! we have a maclaren...my single stroller was a maclaren too, so when i found this double at a yard sale, i couldn't pass it up. i wanted a side by side intstead of a front to back, and i love it. when are you due?

I have to say the inspiration for her "Moon Cake" has got to be her love for her Mrs. Moon! I love your little Lisey... Happy Birthday, Big Girl!
