Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet Caroline!

It's hard to believe that Caroline is 2!  It seems she was just a little baby but alas she is a little girl!  We really didn't have much planned for her birthday but it turned out to be a great day!

After Kelsey's birthday last month, any time we would say the word "birthday" she would immediately put her lips together and start blowing.  I decided she should blow out a candle at every meal!  I think she loved it!



Our "non-party" turned into quite the shindig!  I had decided several weeks ago that we were not going to have a big party - she wouldn't know the difference anyway.  However, we decorated an elmo cake and


and we welcomed a few friends.  Our neighbors Mike and Sharry, Sarah, Moose, Reagan, Lindsay, Brad, Kelsey, Chad, Noelle and William all joined us! 

Caroline loves Mike...


and Sharry!  Sharry's birthday is the 15th as well so we shared present opening time!


Just a little chaos with 3 wild 2 year olds!



I think she enjoyed her strawberry elmo cake!


We were so thankful to have Chad, William (and Noelle) drive down from Cumming to join us!


After the presents and cake, we headed outside to do some fireworks!  Mark had bought a few for the 4th of July but since it rained we did not get to use them.  The girls all loved the pop rocks and sparklers but once they heard the pop and bang of the "bigger" fireworks they were no longer happy campers!  Instead of doing any more fireworks we just played outside with everyone until it was WAY past their bed time.  The weather was amazing...mid 70's in July!?!?  


Mark sure enjoyed his time with the birthday girl!!
