Alyson's 2nd birthday party.....

Well Alyson (our niece) turned two this weekend and they had a great party at a local park. It was so fun. There was a pavillion where we had lunch, awesome food Sarah....Lots of details like butterfly sandwhiches and cupcakes... That might have been the best peanut butter sandwhich I have ever had...The girls were able to play at the park on some really fun equipment too. And after the presents were opened we did a long hike with the whole family through the park. Such a nice way to celebrate her birthday....It was family only so nice and intimate... Here are a few pics..

Alyson showing off her new purse from GG and Popeye (yup Alyson has changed my dads name from Papa John to Popeye...we all think it is so cute and i just think it might stick..heheh also she calls me "E"...love that)

Samantha got some ribbon off one of the presents and would not let it go for a very long time..she was mesmerized by that bow and the twirler thing her Aunt Sue Ann got her...

This is probably one of my favorite pictures from the party of Alyson as she kept handing all her clothes she got as gifts to Dan...So cute!!

A couple other things to share a few people asked me what Samanthas Easter basket looked like so I took a picture a couple of days ago since I have yet to put it away... I love this basket and Dan likes to say she will have it til she goes to college..heheh

One last picture Samantha LOVES her books....If we are ever in her room she crawls right over and pulls them all out and she turns some of them to certain pages as those are her favorites... So one evening I got a picture of her surrounded by all the book she had pulled out.. I think this is a good sign she will be a little reader..yeah!! i have worked very hard to expose her to books as much as possible since birth...
