Celebrations

Monday was Labor Day and we had our church picnic but the weather was so hot we couldn't really enjoy it. We stayed until about 3 p.m. and came home.

Yesterday was Sarah's second birthday. She celebrated with her whole family. Both sets of grandparents, both uncles, her great aunt, two friends of her mom, and six other children. We set up three small pools and allowed the children to play in the water while we got the food set up. Sandwiches, chips, sodas all around. Mostly, the adults ate! The kids nibbled.

The cake was a Disney theme - three princesses and one had a skirt that lights up. Very pretty cake. Everyone sang happy birthday and then Sarah opened her presents. For her birthday I bought her some Clifford learn-to-read books. She got a baby boll that sings I'm a Little Teapot and another that she can sit in the bathtub with and bathe. She is a very good little mommy to her baby dolls and stuffed animals. She kisses and hugs everyone when she gets here and tells them they are sweet babies. It is so cute. She got another book from a friend of her mom that has an angel necklace in the cover for when she is a really big girl. She is really growing fast and talking up a storm. You can understand nearly every word she says! Today, she put on a shirt that she got for her birthday and told us it was pink. It is. Now that she knows her alphabet, she is also learning to recognize and read words.

It was a nice little get together and everyone said they had a nice time. I hope to have a copy of photos soon to show you all. I am exhausted and I go back to work on Thursday. Thankfully, it is a short week! I hope you have all had a good one.
