Barnyard Bash!

Friday was Brooke's second birthday. I can't believe my baby is now 2! Amazing. We were saving most of her celebrating for Saturday, but on Friday we opened a few presents, ate some cupcakes and did some of Brooke's favorites like coloring.
The highlight of the day was that Daddy came home after being out of town for 10 days...just in time for the party.

We had a Barnyard party, complete with a cow cake I made that I'm pretty darned proud of if I do say so myself! Brooke thought it was cool and kept "mooing". We almost got a decent family picture. I'm taking Brooke for her 2 year old pictures next week...I'm sure that will turn into a blog post!
What? Is she looking at the camera? Smiling? Surely not? Perhaps she is turning over a new leaf at the age of 2?
We just had a few friends of Brooke's from church. The girls had a fun time playing and since the mom's are all friends we had a good time enjoying coffee and cake and ice cream at 10:00am!
She got a lot of neat presents, but always an old favorite is a toy cell phone. Is that a bad sign of things to come?

The twisty cheese puffs (we called them pig tails in staying with the theme) were almost more popular then the cake. I admit, they were pretty good! Brooke's new sparkly shoes from Nana were a hit. I love her little chunky legs in this picture...they are looking leaner every day as she is showing more and more signs of outgrowing her baby days!

Happy 2nd Birthday Brooke Elizabeth! Mommy and Daddy love you!
