I really, truly can't believe Pumpkin is 2. I never felt like she was a tiny baby. I mean, she could hold her head up right out of the womb. And I was so nervous about how we would come about finding her siblings that I don't really think I got to enjoy her tiny days. (Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed every second and every glance and every cry. But you know what I mean). Now that we "have" Sweet Potato I soak in all of his babyness. I feel like he has been a tiny baby forever. It really is a weird feeling. Anyway, back to Pumpkin. She cracks me up nearly every second of the day. I mean, sometimes she is even making me laugh when she is throwing a tantrum. I think that a pretty great gift. She lights up my life and she truly enjoys making others feel good. She may turn down a kiss, but she is always up for a laugh. She definitely has my personality. She is strong willed, but loves helping others. She will stand up for what's right. I have no doubt about that. She is not soft spoken. She is caring (especially to animals- lets hope she doesn't want a dog[s] and come to me about it. Otherwise we will have a zoo...again), she is generous (shares with her sister without being asked), she loves a cuddle (not 100% of the time, on her terms), she has an awesome fake laugh, and all around totally wonderful. I am so happy that on this birthday you had siblings to celebrate with. That was my wish and prayer for what seemed like forever. I love you, Honey, and Sweet Potato more than you could ever imagine and I would go through it all again in a heart beat just to have the amazing family that we do.
We started the day off by going to a local splash park.
Dig in!
I obviously didn't measure out the cake batter before dying it. I got the recipe
from Our Best Bites
Forget the spoon
It looks really appetizing, doesn't it. haha
Can you believe two years ago I was freaking out over how we were going to come about our future children. 1 year ago we were rapping up our home study and before we got our license we were referred Honey! It all seems so insane.
I got some good ones of the three of them, that I obviously can't show.
Next up we had our grandparents party.
Too busy eating cake to blow out the candles
She loves her Jessie
