- Cheers to the birthday girl!!! -

**********

Tear tear tearrrrr and more tears; this momma just plowed through an entire box of Kleenex like it ain't no thang! It absolutely goes without saying [but I'll say it anyway] that the past two years have been the BEST two years of our lives! Time has never ever ever flown by so quickly! ...I remember snuggling our 8lb, 4oz bundle of joy and cleaning up liquid/projectile infant poop like it was juuuust a few months ago... Watching this sweet baby grow into a beautiful, well-mannered little lady has been the biggest privilege, and I'm so so sooo happy and honored and humbled that God chose Harper for us!!! 

So...[without further rambling]...

Birthday party pics! Cheers to the birthday girl! It's fun to be two!

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to youuuu, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR HARPER, happy birthday to you!" :-* :-*

Presents, presents, and presents galore! [Just when I thought a tornado hit our house at Christmas time...]

Harper LOVES her newest cousin, Van!

When the birthday girl squeals for a nightcap, the good mom easily obliges.... :) ...and yes, that bumps the cookie count for the day up to three!

A good night of sleep and we were up for another jam-packed day of birthday fun! Off to the Science Center to celebrate our biggest accomplishment! ;)

Little Bear made it less than two minutes in the car before she was zonked out for the entire ride home!

But anyway...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, sweet baby girl!!! Mommy and Daddy love you more than you'll ever know! We hope you had the best birthday ever ever ever and are excited for everything that the year ahead will bring!
