Olivia's 2nd b-day & Snow Day--pics

Olivia turned 2 on Feb. 12th so we had her party on the 13th. Thankfully, we did the party before the biggest of the snowfalls came! We all had a blast & everyone enjoyed themselves. We had the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme & Heather Arvin did the cake of course~~delicious:) She's so funny now & saying so many new words & sayings. She can say every name imaginable & lists all the kids' names at Mindy's (her sitter). I love it when she says Mindy's dog's name "Max"! So funny! I really think if I put more effort into it, she'd already be potty-trained, but you know how you get to slackin' & thinking "she's too young". Well, she now takes off her diapers as soon as she pees OR poops! Which means it will be everywhere if I don't catch her in time! The big girls, Kayla & Danielle, are growing like weeds. They both got their hair whacked off after Christmas so now, from the back especially, they look identical! Love not having to mess w/ hair every morning though plus my girls NEVER liked clips or bows, etc. Here's some random pics:

Danielle w/ some goodies @ her Valentine's party. Isn't her hair cute?!
Olivia w/ her new Dora kitchen we got from my good friend Rene'. She loves it. In this pic Eric asked her to say something & she was getting mad!
Liv w/ Kayla & her new kitchen:)

Her Mickey cake made from Heather Arvin. It was soo yummy!


Love the detail she does on her cakes. Always so pretty.



The birthday girl w/ her cake & everyone singing. Kayla, Danielle & cousin Haylie are around her.



Telling her to blow & she wouldn't....


so the big girls "helped" her blow it out!



Getting antsy to open gifts w/ Kayla, Haylie & Eric.

Cousins Landon & Hunter at the party. They were playing "Spiderman" & running around.


Some of the partygoers. The Hembrees along w/ my dad, mom, brother Josh & Olivia. Josh & Shawn were hitting the balloons everywhere like kids would do & driving us crazy! Ha.



Eric's grandma & his mom. Behind them is Lindsey M & Nikki G to the side.



The "Birthday Girl" would not go to bed for nothing, but this is how she crashed that night! Looks like she was cooking in her kitchen, then crashed in her Elmo chair!


We decided to buy her a new "big girl bed" with her b-day money. I did not know they made nice, wooden toddler beds! So cute & sturdy & this way we can continue to use her crib mattress for a little while longer. Here's Danielle helping Eric.



Olivia laying in the box while they were putting it together.



The finished bed & Olivia checking it out. This was before we put the big pillow on it too.



She just crawls right in & wants tucked in & kissed & sleeps all night long! So proud of my big girl!

Big snow day! This is me & Danielle acting goofy w/ Ginger.

Poor Daddy Abel had to do all the shovelling! Such a hard worker-haha!
