Happy 2nd Birthday Harper Marie!

Bippity Boppity Boo...Harper is TWO!!! 

How is it possible she is TWO already! She is a joy to be around and we love her so much. She doesn't have many words but she understands us very well and makes her own sounds to get what she wants. She loves music just like sissy and daddy. She also is a cookie monster...and will eat basically anything we give. Harper prefers to sit on a big girl chair to eat. She loves to play cat and color with her big sister. They also love to play with baby dolls and take them on walks or put them in their cribs with a blanket. She loves walking and doesn't see the need for a cart at the store. We are excited to see what year 2 brings us with this one! She is much busier than Linnea was :)

On Harper's actual birthday she had a little party at daycare with Vanilla Wafers and her buddies. That night we went to Connie's Creamy Cone for her bday dessert : )

 YUMMY!!! 

 The following Saturday was the big Cinderella Birthday Party at Como Park.

Mommy made a cupcake dress cake :)

We got there early enough to snag about 4 tables near each other and also near the playground.

Gus' grapes, pumpkins and Cinderella's Carriage dip and veggies.  We also had princess shaped sandwiches (Crowns, high heel, castle, star) and Prince Charming's pasta salad and Cinderella's chips.

Papa and the birthday girl!

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

 A new book was in one of these many wonderful gifts. We played a few games before eating and gifts too. Those pictures must be in Chris' camera. I had each girl find a shoe (glass slipper) that was hidden around our tables and then we did a relay race where each girl got dressed and undressed for a ball with some dress up clothes. So FUN!

After we were done playing we went to the Zoo! Everyone was still in a good mood and it was such a beautiful day. The Zoo was literally across the street too so that made it even easier :)

Cousins on the famous turtle at Como :)

 We ended the day with a few pictures out in Hudson taken by our super talented friend/neighbor. These were with my phone...I will get some of her professional ones up here soon!

I think we wore the birthday girl out!
