You have come such a long way since your last birthday! You are now talking in sentences and can repeat just about any word or phrase that you hear. You know many of your letters and can count to 10. You can identify your colors and many of your shapes. Beyond these things though, we are most proud of your heart and WHO you are. You LOVE life and always have. You are full of joy, have a wonderful attitude, truly care about others and their feelings, independent, aim to please, and give the best hugs, snuggles, and kisses. We are thankful that you enjoy learning about God, reading your Bible, and praying. You often hold us accountable if we forget to pray before meals or bedtime, and if anyone is sick or hurting you say, "pray mama."
You love taking care of your babies!! You can spend hours with them simply feeding, changing their diapers, pushing them in the stroller, rocking them to sleep, and reading to them. You are also mommy's little helper around the house. Everything has a place for you and you do not like things out of their place. You thrive on schedule, which is a blessing to us as parents because you are very easy when it comes to sleep routines.
Your laugh is the sweetest sound in the WHOLE WORLD and reminds me daily how very much the Lord loves me by blessing my life with you my sweet baby girl. I will continue to pray that you will accept Jesus at a young age and have an unwavering faith, walking with Him daily. I love you to the moon and back and more than all the fish in the sea!! Happy 2nd Birthday to you :)
Daddy took pictures of you outside for your birthday invitation. To say you love Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Minnie Mouse would be an understatement, so of course your 2nd birthday was Minnie themed.
Your invitation

It was TERRIBLY windy that day :( I had created this beautiful kids table... but the wind would not let me put it together. Chairs are laying down to hold table cloth. You still had a ball though!!
This is what the kids table was SUPPOSED to look like. I had it set up in garage the night before... but the wind demolished it in 5 seconds :(

Looking at the giraffe
Emersyn was more interested in riding in baby Gabe's seat than seeing all the animals
We had a fun morning!! My mom, Emersyn, me, Jennifer's mom, Jennifer, Grace, Brantley, Charlotte, and her mom. (Not pictured were baby Gabe and baby Jack. Both were happy in their strollers).
Feeding the animals
Emersyn did not getting close enough to the animals to feed them. She was more concerned with how the feeding machine worked.
