A Birthday for a Princess

Maya celebrated her 2nd birthday on Sunday, December 28th.  After church, we went to McDonald's for lunch with Nana, Papa, Noo Noo, Aunt Nenie, Pastor Scott, Ronda, and Byron.  After lunch, we had a birthday party at GG Luna's where Bub, Stacy, and the kids had decorated like crazy with Abby Cadabby streamers, party hats, blow whistles, napkins, plates, centerpiece, table cloth, etc.!  It was awesome.  Maya's favorite gifts included new shoes (3 pairs), sparkly clothes, a puppy dog in a taxi, My Little Ponies, and a cooking set.  

Sorry these are all the pictures we captured...our camera was dead and papa's camera ran out of memory after these were taken. 

Maya had no trouble blowing out her candles!

We convinced Grady to wear a party hat for 2.5 seconds, just in time to snap a quick pic (he didn't want to be caught wearing PINK!)

Gabriel had a fun time with his cousins he had never met who were in town from Virginia, Katie & Yaw!

My baby girl...I can't believe she's already 2!!

Mmmm...birthday cake!

Merry Christmas!

Hope you all have a wonderfully blessed Christmas.  Sorry I haven't kept up with posts lately; I have been trying to stay home with the kids, therefore, I have no access to Internet.

We love you all and pray that the true meaning of Christmas will be very real to all of you this year.

Much love,

Sarah
