PARTY TIME

We decided at the last minute to have Georgia's 2 year birthday party this past Friday evening. It looks like we will be moving (or at least the movers will be here packing) on her actual birthday, and I wanted to make sure that we had a family party before heading to Louisiana! It worked out that Shelby's parents, as well as his sister Heather & her fiance Julian could come, too! Grandma, Paw Paw, Andy, Kathy, Luke, Mary Katherine & Caroline were all guests. Georgia LOVES it when they all get to come to our house, and so do we! The party was very low key-hamburgers, hot dogs, and all the fixins, and cupcakes & ice cream for dessert! Georgia opened presents and after cupcakes & ice cream we headed outside to play with her favorite thing right now...BUBBLES! It is SO HOT outside right now...we were going to have a cook-out & play outside, but I decided that NO ONE would enjoy that. It was much more enjoyable inside in the A/C!

I cannot believe our big girl is SO BIG! She will be two on June 17th..wow. In the past few weeks, she is saying everything and is a happy happy little girl. Some of our favorite things she now says are, "Idee Nane" for Ivy Jane, "where Daddy go?" (or any other name), "essit, Momma" (or any other name) when she wants you to sit, and our absolute favorite thing is her reading. She will sit and "read" books saying, "momma happy evweeday" over and over and over. It made me tear up the first time I heard her say it. I have no idea why she says it, but I think it is the sweetest thing ever!

Here are some pics from the party!

The best picture of our family of 4...

You'll notice that in most of the pictures Georgia is not smiling! I think she had a good time! Something I've realized is that she gets really quiet in large groups, even when it's family! Maybe she is going to be shy? She is the most comfortable and the craziest when it's just us at our house. Here she is opening one of her gifts...
A pink broom and dust pan from Aunt Heather and future Uncle Julian! She walks around sweeping things and makes a "shussing" sound.
Multi-tasking...she's going to be a great Momma one day!

Sitting with her cupcake tower, a little overwhelmed..."Why is everyone looking at me & singing?"
Shelby & Ivy Jane...
