Fiona's second birthday party!

She's two!! Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday she was sleeping in my arms and she fit right in the crook of my elbow. It has been an amazing journey so far.....and it has been a wonderful year for Fi and for us. It is so much fun to watch little Fiona unfold into her own person...

Her party was wonderful. The day was absolutely perfect....cool and sunny. My mom and Bill came, along with our friend Tiffeni ("Aunt Tiffeni") and our friend Nicole ("Aunt Nicole") and Fi's friend Kaulini. Nicole and Lini ended up spending the day with us, which was very very nice. The girls played outside on the slide, played with the ball, and decorated the patio and house with chalk. We had a bubble machine going, which was a really big hit! There was also dancing to swing music inside. Fiona finally got to have some cake, which she was waiting until she was two to be able to do. She kept saying "two!" while she was eating it, feeling very accomplished.


Here are some pictures of the party....

Last year we added a mama swan with a baby on her back....this year we added a kangaroo with her joey peeking out....
