Birthday Girl

Today is Natalie's 2nd Birthday. She is such a joy in our life, she brings lots of laughter to our family. I went into labor with her on Mothers Day and what a treat she has been. I love her so much.
We started the day by opening gifts, the older girls wanted her to open them as soon as we got up. Natalie was really excited about her cake. She loves butterflies so we tried a butterfly puzzle cake. It didn't turn out as well as I hoped but she loved it so that is all the counts right. (at least I keep telling myself that).
Mom and Natalie
This is the puzzle cake, they are different shape cupcakes. It was fun for the kids, it looks like a cake but they are cupcakes.

For Her birthday she got: new sandals, jacket, slip n slide, barbie car, and princess stickers. She was excited to open the gifts and wanted to do it all by herself.
We love our little girl so much, we realize she is no longer a baby any more. When you ask her if she is your princess she will say "No daddy's baby". Here are a few fun things about Natalie
Favorite food: shrimp, (she will eat more than Garrett can)
Favorite color: pink or blue
Favorite song: songs from the movie Annie, or "spider song"
Favorite book: any book that talks about babies or has pictures of babies
Favorite person: Sarah or Dad
Favorite treats: fruit snacks
Favorite movie: Annie or Super Why
Favorite Words: Please, snacks, mommy's bed
She loves to be rocked like a baby.
She loves her 2 blankets and real looking baby, she has to sleep with them every night. Then finds the tags on the blankets rubs them against her face before she can fall asleep.
We love you so much Natalie and are so happy you are a happy healthy little girl.
