Alina is TWO!?!?!

Okay, so when people tell you "it goes by SO fast...enjoy every moment!" and you are in the grocery store with a toddler who wants to stand up in the seat, or get out, or eat...or go home....you think...."yah, sure....okay"...but....they are SO right!

Two days before Christmas this year, Alina turned the big T-W-O and we couldn't believe it. We, or should I say I (who are we kidding...men do NOT plan for birthday parties) decided to go with Sesame Street theme....because Alina loves Elmo and because...let's face it, Sesame Street is awesome. So, I waited until the last minute to plan and decorate (as usual), and it didn't turn out professionally, but it turned out quite nicely if I do say so myself.

There were decorations...

There were games...

There was dancing...

There were gifts...

There was homemade cake (made by her Auntie Heather)...

But most importantly, there was family & friends...





Of course, Alina was tired and overwhelmed at her own party, but she did have a good time with family, and friends...and so did we! Thank you to all who were a part of her special day...in person or in spirit! Alina has been SO blessed by each and every one of you...and so have WE!

Wonder what shinanigans she will want for her party next year. Maybe I should start planning now! :o)
