Marcy's Birthday Party



Marcy had a wonderful time at her 2nd Birthday party! She wanted a "Dora Diego Cake", so that is what she got. When we started singing "Happy Birthday" to her, the smile on her face was priceless. She immediately knew that we were singing to her and she was loving it!
Yummy Ritz crackers with peanut butter inside, dipped in chocolate. One of the kids' favorites!

Little photo garland decorations
Very simple food

Little Abby is Marcy's best friend at school. It just so happens that Abby's mom is one of my best friends too! Funny how that works!

Leo and Lucy up to no good. :)

Marcy and Grandpa!

Yay for presents!

Happy 2nd Birthday, Marcy!

Love, 
Jenny, Leo and Marcy

The big 2!

Happy Birthday, sweet Marcy Rae!

Leo always wanted to hold his little baby sister, but would never touch her. These days I wish he would keep his hands to himself more often!


I love this picture










So thankful for my dad. He would come over during his lunchtime every single day while I was on maternity leave. It was nice to be able to clean my body or get online for a few. Best. Dad. Ever.





Cheese!







We love you, sweet baby girl!
Happy 2nd birthday!

SANTA!


We had such a fun time visiting with Santa this past weekend. Leo really is into Santa this year and loves everything about him. It's so cute. We went to a fun event sponsored by the Park Department that is a more intimate Santa visit than the normal one. There were only about 20 kids there, so each child had plenty of time with Santa. Also, each child received a present from Santa, which was great. 


Before Santa made his arrival, some girl scouts were there to sing some Christmas carols. In the above pictures, you can see what Leo did the entire time they were singing. Why was he covering his ears? I have no idea, but everyone in attendance got quite a laugh!

Leo had no hesitation when sitting on Santa's lap. He really didn't want to get off of it, if his present wasn't right there, he could have stayed all day. Marcy on the other hand, wanted nothing to do with Santa. That's OK, maybe next year.

We made peanut butter balls and chocolate pretzels for Santa and Mrs. Claus. Leo was so excited to give them his tasty presents. When his name was called he hid the present behind his back until he got up to Santa and then gave it to him. It was so cute!

All of the well behaved children waiting for their turn with the big man. 



Marcy's present from Santa was a baby doll, which she loved!


Leo got the slinky dog he's asked Santa for already and has been wanting for months. He was overjoyed, as you can plainly see. 


Overall, it was one of my favorite days of all time.

Have a fantastic week!

Love, 

Jenny, Leo and Marcy
