Happy birthday to Rachel...

It has been almost two weeks since we celebrated Rachel's 2nd birthday and I am just now getting around to doing anything with photos from her party. There are no excuses for my shameful actions...other than I just haven't had time. Does that count? Can I use that as an excuse? Yes. I vote yes.

It is hard to believe that just two short years ago our little Pooh Bear started out like this:

And here she is, already such a big kid.

Okay, so before we start the party let us all give a big round of applause to my wonderful husband for making this toy shelf...from scratch. Thank you honey.

Look Mommy, ELMO Balloon!!!!!!

Blowing out the candles, with a bit of additional wind power. Thank you daddy.

And then we opened presents. Lots of them. Too many of them. Here are just a few pictures. I love the first one...she's back there somewhere.

So now we venture into life with a two-year-old...suddenly I feel very old and very slow.

We love you Rachel!
