It's hard to believe that 2 years have already flown by since Molly was born. She has added more to our lives than we could have ever even expected! She is full of love, energy, is well behaved, sleeps a good 12 hours every night (woo hoo!), and says new words almost every day. She loves to watch Elmo videos, play with necklaces and bracelets, work on puzzles, and read books. Her favorite foods are macaroni & cheese, blueberries, and raisins. She knows all of her alphabet, and can (almost) count to 10. She's gone on the potty a few times, but we're still in the early stages of potty training. She's having so much fun this summer at the water park a few times a week, and is getting better and more confident in the water every time we go.
Her birthday party was a lot of fun. She got so many nice gifts and visits from family friends...she is a blessed little girl!
The preparation began the night before...
Grampie and John cut veggies and fruit
Grampie watches a video with Molly to keep her out of the kitchen
We were like a well-oiled machine!
Showing off her new shirt that my good friend Andrea made!
Not too sure she likes the dancing Elmo
I made her a tu-tu to complete her outfit for her ladybug party
Ready to party!
Having a snack before the party begins
The desert table is all ready! Ladybug cupcakes, red-chocolate covered oreos with mini chocolate chips, and cherry and chocolate Twizzlers.

I didn't get a picture of the food table before we started, so here it is after it had already been dug into :0)

Lots of presents

A couple weeks ago we went to Sandusky to celebrate my dad's 60th birthday party, and my parents surprised Molly with an early birthday gift! A swing set with slide, a sand box, a mini pool, and a garden for her to play with at their house.
She loved it!

Thank you to everyone who sent and gave cards, gifts, came to her party, and helped make her 2nd birthday so special! Love to you all, and a big hug and kiss from Molly!
