Kennedy is 2!!

 Our little Sassy pants is 2! Its so cliche but I can't believe it! This little princess has brought so much joy into our lives and I just can't wait to see all the things God has planned for her. She is such a ray of sunshine. When she walks into a room, its fun to just watch her walk over to each and every person and just win them over with her little charm! She knows how to work a room like no 2 year old, or anyone really, I've ever seen. She loves to say hi and wave with a smile to every person walking by. But don't let that sweet smile fool you, she's got her own little sas to her! She's tough enough to hold her own, especially when it comes to her big brother!! She has Brother, as well as mommy, daddy and the list goes on and on. wrapped around her little fingers!
I just love birthdays. Anyone who doesn't is just crazy! So of course, we like to make them a big deal. Because it really is your day! Everyone is celebrating the day, this world was blessed to meet you! All the excitement that day brought, is remembered and relived. We celebrate another year we were blessed to watch you grow. Another year full of kisses, hugs and lots of laughs. Being a mom can be challenging of course, but it is full of more happy and fun memories than anyone could ever count. I hope my kids will always cherish their birthdays and remember how special I always tried to make their big day!

This year Kennedy woke up to a room full of balloons and streamers. When she saw them she immediately asked for her birthday hat! She was grinning from ear to ear and she instantly knew today was all about her. In fact she was saying it was her "Burtday" for a few weeks, maybe even a month after!

MiMi always had candles in our breakfast, whether it was a pop tart, toaster strudel, pancake, muffin... it always had candles accompanied by singing happy birthday! We are carrying on that tradition! (Ask Nanner, we set off the smoke alarm on her birthday a few years back :))

 Caleb was so proud and excited that it was Sis's birthday. He would tell anyone walking by or everyone we passed on the way to school, that is was his "Sissy pants'" birthday!

YaBe's card had its own little birthday tiara with it. Perfect for our birthday princess.

 Here was MiMi's "Birthday" card.

 Happy birthday Mommy's little princess! I love you more than you could ever know. I love watching you grow up but really wish you would slow down! I am so blessed to be your Mommy. Always know I love you with ALL my heart!

 

This is also a tradition in our family. i got the early morning call from my mom on my birthday singing it to me. It dates back to Kendall's third birthday. She was the birthday princess at Disney world. She was so obnoxious about her birthday that the next day all we could say all day long was "its not your birthday its not your birthday!!"
