2 years old!!

My baby turned 2 yesterday! To say this year went fast is an understatement! She woke up to her doorway and kitchen decorated in streamers and balloons. She loved the balloons!



In the morning we met a bunch of friends at a pumpkin patch. We petting animals, looked at pumpkins, heard a story and played on hay bales and a big bin of dried corn. Pretty sure she had a great time! Then it was time to go home for lunch and a nap!



Daddy come home from work early to celebrate his girl turning 2. Once she woke up we all enjoyed cupcakes I made that morning. She ate pretty much the whole thing! I love when she enjoys what I cook...makes me feel very mommyish! (is that a word?)

Now 2 years old!!




After we were cup caked out we went on a hike. The fall leaves are so pretty and Cassie surprised me by walking pretty much the whole thing....and its not a short hike. She is a trooper!!



It was a fight to have her sit down to take these pictures...she wanted to keep walking.




After the hike we came home for dinner and present time!!



She was able to play with her new toys for awhile before her bed and bath.



We really enjoyed the day. Next Saturday we are throwing her a big party with all the family. Last year we never gave her a true birthday party because her cleft palate surgery was right around the corner so we didn't want to run the risk of her getting sick from all the people being over and surgery having to be postponed. Next Saturday also marks 1 year since her cleft palate surgery! Its hard to believe its only been a year, it feels like a lifetime ago.

Happy birthday Cass! I love you and here is to a year without any surgery's!!
