At last, Mira's 2nd birthday update!

OK, so it took me a little longer than I thought to post. SO SORRY everyone!! The Flower Fairy Tea Party was spectacular! The house looked beautiful with a little help from several little fairy helpers, Auntie C, Aunt Danielle, Bubbie, Nona and Pop Pop. We had amazing tea sandwiches, hibiscus tea punch, caprese salad and cheese and crackers for the grown ups and tea sandwiches and fruit for the kiddies. And all enjoyed Tony's DEEEEElicios cup cakes! (Tony is a co-worker of Kevin's.) The house had fairies all over and a "tea pot" and "tea cup" theme throughout. Lovely.

The weather was amazing too! In the high 60s I believe and sunny.

Mira loved opening her presents and received some terrific things. Books, clothes, an art smock, a little table and chairs for the kitchen to draw, paint or eat at, a new pink and animal print suitcase with her name on it, and furniture for her little baby dolls. Thank you everyone!!

Mira's dress was fairy-like too and she was the prettiest fairy we have ever seen! She had a blast playing with her little friends. Check out all the photos at http://picasaweb.google.com/Kevindahlstrom

Now that she is 2 it's amazing how her language skills have just blossomed even more than a month ago! She is now having complete conversations with all of us and it is truly spectacular to be a part of.

Great Grandmom, Uncle Adam, Aunt Danielle, Nona and Auntie "C" came to stay with us during her birthday weekend too. We are truly blessed to have so many people willing to come visit during this special time for Peanut.

Since the party the weather has been in the 70s and 80s and we are really enjoying it! Bubbie and Pop Pop gave Mira a new red wagon (they are plastic now by the way) and we are taking lots of walks to the park and around the block. All of her babies in tow :)

Kevin and I have been doing some traveling and taking turns being the solo parent at times. It's hard work but well worth it! We have such a brilliant daughter, and beautiful I might add! No bias here!!

Happy spring everyone, happy Passover and Easter too if I don't post again until April!
