"happy to you!"

"reese, how old are you going to be on your birthday?"



"happy two years old!"



we had a wonderful birthday party for reese at our home with a few of our friends and reese's friends. she'll tell you that her friends are stevie-abi (two kids, but said as one word, of course), scarlett and dani. she was all excited to have a party and have her friends over, but poor thing, was still sleeping when the party started, so she woke up a bit confused about what was going on in her home. once she got comfortable, she had a great time running around with her friends, helping herself to chips, cheese dip and salsa, eating a birthday cupcake, opening presents and playing with new toys.




reese, that's right! happy two years old to you! it is amazing how much you have grown in the last year - from barely walking to running, jumping and dancing, from simple, little words to sentences and concepts including colors and numbers, from small giggles to loud squeaks and squeals. you now feed yourself, buckle your booster seat and stroller, remind us there is cake and ice cream to be eaten, show us the boats, trams, cars and "green mans" to cross the street, help us open doors and locks, ask us to pray with you and you give us the best hugs + kisses, which we'll take any day!! reese, you brighten our days and give us so much joy.


we love you!


mom + dad



two year stats: 12 kilo (26 lbs) and 87.6 cm (34.5 inches)

Papa and I wish we could have been at the party; it looks like you had a great time. Of course, we saw the aftermath on the webcam! See you soon.

It looks like you had so much fun! I can't believe we had to miss it! I love her little apron and kitchen and the cute cupcakes!
