The Big TWO!

It's official, Mary's a big girl! 

At least that's what Avery keeps telling her, "You're a big girl now!"  

Then Mary shouts, "BIG GIRL!!"  

Mary's second birthday was yesterday.  We did most of the celebrating on Saturday, 

but did have some fun on Monday as well.

On Saturday we took some pictures of Mary.

We got some really nice ones of our sweet girl.

During Mary's nap Avery and I made cupcakes for that night.

After her nap that day we got ready for a little mini party just the four of us.

I prepared her birthday dinner, (peanut butter and honey sandwiches, apples, and chips)

After our dinner we opened up her presents.  

She really wanted nothing to do with it.  She just wanted to get down and play.  

After presents we sang to her and had cupcakes.

Mary DID NOT like the candle!  

She wouldn't even eat her cupcake after they were in there.

She was able to enjoy a cupcake the next day though.

On her birthday I was able to take Mary and Avery to the Jump Zone.

I knew my little jumper would LOVE it!

These next pictures are all from a phone, so not the best quality.

It was so much fun watching Mary have so much fun!

She loved to jump, climb, slide, and even did the rope swing!

She is an adventurous one.

We are so thankful for Mary in our lives.  She is such a happy spirit in our home.  

We love watching her play and learn.  

Some of our favorite things about Mary are:

Her cuddles

She love of animals, especially horses

She loves books

She will knock on doors or on the window and sings "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"

She's always happy to see us

She's always polite and says thank you to us for everything

The way she jumps

Happy 2 years Mary!
