Our Very Hungry TWO Year Old!

In honor of our girl's second birthday, we had some pals over to celebrate...Hungry Caterpillar style. It was a joy to see her have so much fun.
Sophia smiled from the time she got up until the time she went to bed.
We sampled the Hungry Caterpillar's favorite foods.

The girlies got crafty and made butterflies and apples for the Hungry Caterpillar to munch on.
Most of the time, the girls just giggled, chased and piled on each other!
Mark led the girlies in an impromptu round of "Ring Around the Rosie".
Thank you to our friends and family that brought and mailed blessings and wishes for Sophia. These were a highlight of her party, and will go in her memory box. Thanks also to those who donated books to charity in her name. We can't wait to share with our girl that kids in need got books for her 2nd birthday!
It is hard to believe that our little peanut is two. Her party was much of what we hope for her: close friends (from all over the world: India, China, USA and Ethiopia), fun, faith, dancing, creativity, family, singing, service and silliness.
We love you, Peanut. We are grateful for the gift of you. You, sweet girl, make us better every single day.

The Lord your God is with you,
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.
~Zephaniah 3:17

LOVED this post and I might just steal the idea for Jeane's birthday. GREAT ideas! How DO you come up with these things? I really wish you lived in Canada....say....in Alberta. I think we would be good friends. :-)
