Presents!

Amongst the very many presents Cups received in addition to contributions to her college fund. . .



Dora purse with a cell phone and jewelry from Auntie Iris. . .



Luxury play kitchen from Auntie Angela, Uncle Steve, Auntie Robin and Uncle Tim. . . Many thanks to Auntie Lisa for spending a good amount of time putting it together for Cups the day it arrived.



As soon as Cups opened the box, she said, "Pretty. Pretty shoes," as she pulled out the Tevas.



Now Cups can match Daddy.

Thank you so much, everyone, for a wonderful celebration and your overwhelming thoughtfulness.

Cupcakes' dance party

Cups had a 45-minute dance party the day after the big birthday party. The kids (and Daddy) frosted cookies shaped like cupcakes that Auntie Penny baked afterwards.

Cups is turning 2!

Cups turns two years old next Tuesday. We celebrated her birthday the weekend before. We had a great party. We appreciate all of you who celebrated with us, and we missed those of you who couldn't make it. Thank you for all the wonderful presents and contribution to Cups' college fund!

Special thanks go to Auntie Iris for making the super cute Olive Juice Co lotion birthday favors.

Mama wanted to try to visit with everyone at the party this year, and she did better. Those who won the trivia game this year won a mug to be made with a picture taken with Cups at the party.

Happy birthday, Cupcakes! (Last night Mama told Cups that she had to go to sleep to be ready for party the next day. She said, "Birthday party. I'm going to be two." At the party she was so shy that she didn't blow out her candle. Thank you for the wonderful cupcake candles, Auntie Monica!!)
