Happy 2nd Birthday, Sonoma!

Sonoma celebrated her 2nd birthday last weekend!  I can honestly say she really appreciated her entire birthday weekend.  It really made me feel good as a parent :)  She was SO excited and happy about everything special that was done for her.  She loved her cake, loved her balloons, decorations, party outfit, the people that came to celebrate with her and of course all of her presents.  She was all smiles and said her thank yous to friends and family.  She's such a sweet little girl and Marcus and I are both so proud of her! 


Grammy, Grandpa and Auntie K arrived Saturday morning to help us set up for Sonoma's birthday party.  We were so grateful for all of their help getting everything ready.  Unfortunately, Grandma and T could not make it to Chicago for Sonoma's party.  They were still down in Atlanta visiting Adair Caroline.  They did however, make it up to our house on Sunday for Sonoma's birthday lunch and stayed through Monday.  

So happy to see Grammy and Grandpa!

Sonoma loves her Auntie K.  She can also say "Krista" very well now

Sonoma would barely nap she was so excited for her party.  She fell asleep chanting, "Pizza, Cake, Ice Cream!"

Sonoma surprised us all and went to the bathroom in her little potty as soon as the party was over.  Here she is putting a sticker on her sticker chart.

Sonoma slept in on the morning of her birthday and we all had breakfast together and let her open presents from Grammy, Grandpa, Krista and Mommy & Daddy.

I love my baby girl and I cannot believe she is 2 years old.  

New tricycle from Grammy and Grandpa!  She loved it!

Finally flying a kite with Grandpa.  He's wayyy better than us!

                         On Sunday morning, Auntie K took Sonoma to her swimming lesson. 

After swimming we all went out for Sonoma's birthday lunch as soon as Grandma and T made it into town.

Sonoma is always smiling for the camera!

Her very first set of golf clubs!  Daddy was very happy!

Sonoma loved her "horns" (recorders) from Grandma and T.  Her and Daddy always pretend that they are in a band!

I know I posted a TON of pictures, but I couldn't resist.  This past weekend was such a special time for us.  April 29th is one of the best days of my life!  We love you, Sonoma Danielle!
