A big birthday weekend...

This weekend we celebrated Sophia's second birthday! Her actual birthday is this Wednesday the 8th but we celebrated a little early due to it being Easter weekend next weekend.

Saturday night we had a big BBQ with lots of friends over. Matt, of course, made a delicious meal for everyone and we had beautiful weather for the celebration. Perfect! Today we celebrated with the family. Matt's parents and sister and her family along with my parents and my sister and her fiance all came over for more BBQ. Very low key with lots of sports watching for the boys and Sophia watching for the girls. Here are lots of pictures to show the celebrations, I'm really sad I didn't get a picture of all the kids on Saturday night. That's one of my favorite pictures from her 1st birthday. Oh well, we can't do everything :)


Stone cold as we sing Happy Birthday to her (she was a little scared)


Blowing out her candles


Yummy!

We were really bummed that we had to miss such a fun party! It looks like she got some great new toys. My mom has that dollhouse at her house and Emmett loves playing with it...especially the "potty"!
