Ann Evelyn's 2nd Birthday

Our sweet baby girl is 2!! We love this little one so much! What fun to have a little girl in the house! :)

We started the morning with blueberry muffins. Andrew had to help out with the candles. :)

Then, it was time to get ready for her princess party!

She had the most fun with the balloons!

Andrew showing off the "drawbridge" that he and Daddy made to come into the house.

We needed some knights to defend the castle! Forrest was glad to suit up!

Forrest, Andrew and their friend, Julia all dressed up and ready to play!

When we began talking about Ann Evelyn's birthday a couple of months ago, she asked for a "princess" party. She is a tough cookie with her brothers, but she's also very girly... she loves dressing up and playing with her dolls. She loved seeing the princesses at Disney world and has talked about them ever since. I love seeing the differences in how God makes little girls and little boys. At 2, Andrew was into trains, Forrest was into tools, and Ann Evelyn... princesses! :)

Riding the horse outside with Izzy!

She was so tickled when everyone sang to her (she even sang along!) and she blew out the candles all by herself this time!

Meredith, Ann Evelyn and Micah eating cupcakes. Such sweet little friends! Her little friend Tate and cousin Owen also helped us celebrate!

When she opened the present from May-May and Bubby with the tiaras and dress-up shoes... she was sooo excited!! She didn't take them off for the entire party! And she tries to wear those purple heels everywhere we go. :) She loves her new princess tricycle from Ganny and Papaw.

We love you, Ann Evelyn! What a fun day we had celebrating the day that God gave us you!

Growing up!!

My little ones are growing up!

Our baby girl turned 2 on August 6th! What fun we had celebrating our little girl's big day! I'll post more later about the sweet princess party we had for her! :)

And then yesterday Andrew and Forrest went to meet their teacher for preschool!

My sweet, big boy! He will be in preschool 5 days a week this year! I am sad to see him growing up but also very excited for him. He loves his sweet preschool, and he loves to be busy and in a routine. Wilson and I think it will be a great year for him!

Andrew and his teacher, Mrs. Murphy - it seems like a really sweet class!

Forrest is excited to be going to preschool with Andrew this year! :) He is going 2 days a week and has Andrew's sweet teacher Mrs. Bates from last year!!! Andrew was a great big brother... walked Forrest in and showed him around. :) Forrest has 2 friends from church in his class, too, so he is super excited about that!

After looking around the classrooms, we went outside for juice and cookies and a little playtime. Guess who is ready to go to preschool with her big brothers???

Yep! Ann Evelyn was wanting to go this morning! There was much excitement in my boys' faces this morning. They were walking around the kitchen singing songs that they made-up about going to preschool! I can't wait to pick them up in a few minutes to hear how their day was!
