Hallie Turns Two

We had yet another quiet family birthday in 2010 as Hallie, or Howie-Wowie as we often call her, turned TWO.  It was more of the same - trying to keep it simple - that kept our day focused on what it was really about...the birth of our third and final munchkin.

"Noodle," as I love to call her brings a special joy to our family.  She has taken on the role of comedienne and loves to get a laugh out of people.  She loves baby dolls, and loves real babies even more.  She sings Itsy Bitsy Spider and Shoo Fly Don't Bother Me. Every night before going to bed we have to say "Night night, don't let the sharks bite". She is still tiny as ever, and often gets mistaken for a one year old, or 18 monther.  I love that God made her so petite, her littleness just makes her big personality seem even bigger to me.

We received this fun snack basket from our Texas cousins...it was actually for all three kids birthdays, but how fun that it came on Hallie's special day!

Hallie got a little puppy for her dolls.  She loves dogs almost as much as she loves babies.

What else do you get on your birthday...chocolate cupcakes.

Too bad this cupcake only likes the icing!

And she doesn't care much for dirty hands.

chocolate cupcake cheese!

Enjoying a ride in her new Cozy Coupe!
