Baby's 2nd Birthday

It's official, the snow has finally caught up with the rest of the country here in the Pacific Northwest.  It's been comin' down since about noon.  Just in time for two events on the calender this weekend.  Perfect.  And the poor Dad left work early, after my nagging to hurry and get home, and he is now broken down on the side of the freeway, waiting for a tow truck.  Good lord.

So anyhoo, figured I'd best be gettin' these pictures on here before her 3rd birthday rolls around.  I mentioned last week that we won't be having her party until this coming weekend - that is if the weather allows - but I had to snap pics to commemorate her actual birthday day.

So without further ado, here's our little two year old:

She loves to read right now.

All day long I hear, "read it."

Grammy stopped by in the afternoon and brought her balloons, which were a huge hit.

Then she opened presents from Mommy and Daddy, and one my aunt had mailed to her, with sister's help, of course.

My mom also brought her some big girl panties.

C'moooon, potty training.

The rest of the day was just spent hangin' at home.

After dinner was the obligatory birthday candle in a cupcake.

She not-so-patiently waited for me to light it.

The Girl, singing Happy Birthday at the top of her lungs.

And last, The Mom doing what she does best.

The Kid insisted on taking my picture.

You can sorta see the highlights I had put in my hair last weekend.

Um, she went a wee bit crazy.  

You can't really tell here with it pulled back, but I was full-on blonde on the top layer. 

I went back this morning and had that problem remedied.

Gad.

I'm officially a brunette again.

Sorry, honey.

Speaking of wine, I think wine o'clock needs to start an hour early today.

Having your husband stuck on the side of a freeway in a snow storm isn't the most relaxing thing in the world.

I shall toast to him getting home safe and sound - before midnight.

Off to pour that first glass......
