Second Time's a Charm

Winnie has one thing she loves more than anything in the whole world. She calls it "baby". You might recognize it as actually being a turtle, but to her it is "baby". What more appropriate shape for a birthday cake then, than a little "baby" colored turtle?


That's right, our baby is turning two! Her birthday is Monday the 13th, but we celebrated with a little party last night. Two of our good friends and their little girl who is also two years old came over. I didn't plan the pictures very well and ended up with only a couple not-so-great shots of the little guest.

We put all the girls down for bed (a mini sleep-over) and played some games with four of our friends in celebration of the occasion. :) We've really enjoyed our great big apartment with all the extra bedrooms for times like these! Our little two year old friend knows that when she comes over to "P's house" she'll probably go to bed here and wake up in her own home in the morning. "P" is what she calls Winnie. I'm "P-Mommy". That's funny.


Winnie also got cards from her sisters. Squeaky was pretty excited about writing her own card. It said in big block letters, "TO QUINN IL LUV YOU QUINN YOU AR SWET FRAM LAEL

Happy Birthday, Winnie! It's birthday time around our house, too, but we don't have such a cute cake! Love it! We had the same turtle once upon a time, but I'm sure it was not loved in quite the same way. :)

Winnie's cake was really cute. I don't remember if when we celebrated you birthdays whether we put you to bed before the games. Seems that KT was your most frequent party pal and other than some of your unusual cakes, I don't remember how the parties went. I will try to call W. on Mon. for her birthday. I don't know why I thought it was today. I have all along.

Cute cake and an even cuter little girl. I can't believe how much she's grown since we first saw her in Aug '07!

Happy Birthday to "Winnie".
You did a great job on the cake and no doubt the guests did a great job of consuming it.

that is a terrific idea to put the birthday girl and the rest of the kids to bed and then play the games - exactly who was celebrating any way?

It was a very gray day here and started raining in the late afternoon and still is.
