Happy Birthday Bella!

I can't believe my little girl will be 2 years old tomorrow. Everyone told me during my pregnancy to enjoy every moment, because it goes by so fast. They were so right. It doesn't seem like it could possibly be 2 years already since this little girl came into our lives. Scott and I continue to learn everyday how hard, but rewarding parenthood is. We couldn't imagine our lives any other way and thank God everyday for Bella.
On a lighter note- we had her birthday party last weekend. She had so much fun! We rented out one of her favorite places in Wilmington, Fit for Fun, and invited several of her little friends. I think there were about 9 kids total, and everyone had a good time. We played, did a little art project, and of course, ate birthday goodies. Fit for Fun was the perfect place for her party. I didn't have to do a thing other than watch Bella enjoy every moment of her party. And the best part was, I didn't have to clean sticky finger prints from my walls at home!

I have included some pictures of the party...

Bella playing in the ball pit. Layla really wanted to come in to play too!



Layla and Bella in their birthday crowns.



They had the blow up cake up front just for Bella!



Playing with the parachute- that was fun!


Bella and her "boyfriend", Bryson. Bella has it bad for this little boy :)



Layla LOOOVED the cupcake- at least she's getting some good practice for her birthday that's coming up soon!

Bella and Layla playing before the party got started.

I think everyone enjoyed the cupcakes!

Bella decided to give the dinosaur some love.

Blowing out the candles. It was a good thing that everyone had their own cupcake, because Bella involved a lot of spit to get those candles out!


Playing in the bubbles.



The birthday girl!
