Alaina's Second Birthday

On February 5, we celebrated Alaina's Second Birthday Party.  Here are a few of the pictures Aunt Ashley took.

Alaina loved playing with the balloons as we decorated

Enjoying punch before the party

This is one of my all time favorite pics.

Opening the gifts!  Alaina and I have the same expression.

Once again, same expression.

Using her broom from Mimi and Poppa

She loved her tricycle from moma and daddy

She got embarrased when we were singing "Happy Birthday" and she needed Mamaw to hold her hand.

Yummy, Yummy

She was so excited about the rings that came on the cake!

One of her many faces!

Showing off her big eyes!

Working hard on her new laptop!

Having fun with Aunt Angela

Loving her dog

As you can see, Alaina had a blast!  After every left, she took a much needed nap! 

I am excited and anxious about the year ahead -- the terrible twos!  Alaina is talking more and becoming her own person.  I know that this will be a year filled with tantrums as she gains her independence but I know it will also be a year filled with fun and adventure.  She will make sure of it!
