Two Years Old!

Bella's Two Year Birthday was quite a sight to see. We didn't have a big fancy party but we did have family and friends to share the weekend, making her birthday truly special. Pop came in to see her from Virginia. She took quite easily to him, and loved sitting with him at dinnertime. She enjoyed opening her presents on the morning of her birthday. She received clothes, a savings bond, sidewalk chalk, some books, and a movie "Planet Earth." Bella just adores watching the animals on TV, especially when it's slow and drawn out like the series Life on Discovery Channel. We made her birthday cupcakes, which she loved, mostly just the frosting though. For her dinner birthday we went to a Mexican restaurant she enjoys, Pasados. Not only did she eat nearly the entire salsa container, but she also got a special ice cream treat from a man serenading her! It was a great dinner shared with Pop, Aunt Iris, Uncle Jon, and Jas.
And last month......
Just after Nana, Papa, and Aunt E came down to Dallas, Bella and I traveled up to Ohio to see the family. It was great spending time with everyone! Bella loved playing with Riley at Great Nana's house. She loved the powered donuts too! To this day she still mentions Riley. We miss everyone in Ohio so much! We think of you and hope that one day we can get back there.
