Birthday Bliss

On December 2nd, Stella celebrated her second birthday! We can't believe how fast the past two years have passed, but we love and embrace every new stage that Stella enters (good, bad, and ugly)! On her birthday, I took the day off of work so we could celebrate together.

We started the day with a morning tantrum....


Then, we enjoyed a peaceful and delicious breakfast....


Later in the day we decorated a birthday card for Stella's friend/neighbor, Lily....


Next, we decorated our gingerbread house (although the pic is the next day)....


Finally, we ended the day with snuggle time....


The next day, Stella had her 2-year check-up. At the pediatrician's office, she was an angel. She cooperated through all of the poking and prodding and even did some talking for the doctor. When it was time to get the flu-mist, she sniffed in the medicine without flinching. Unfortunately, her vaccination booster shot was not so pleasant. She was NOT happy about the prick, but perked up immediately once a sticker was mentioned! She walked away with about six stickers!

All in all, Stella's 2nd birthday was a success. She's such an amazing little girl, and I know I speak for myself and Alan when I say that we are truly blessed to have her in our lives!
