30 minutes till Birthday Party
Jun 7th, 2009 by Anna
It is Laurel’s 2nd birthday today! Again, another bittersweet day in a parent’s life. I have so much fun with her and have so much pride in her and am so happy to have a little girl in my life. The kids’ birthdays force me to realize that childhood is just as fast as lightning.
Here’s a picture Brian snapped yesterday (“her last day as a one year old” I told everyone we encountered). Isn’t she lovely? Do you also hear the Stevie Wonder song in your mind right now?
Here she is on her 1st birthday:

And here she is when she was just born:

I baked a pink three-layer cake for Laurel’s birthday dinner. It is a tower of strawberry/cream cheese insanity. I’ll make sure to share some photos on here later!

Happy Birthday Laurel! What a sweet, sweet girl!
She is soooooooo adorable. What a face!
What a cutie!! Oh, and get the stand mixer–the world needs many more of your beautiful three-layer (wow) cakes! I hope you guys had a great day.
Oh My – this time is just around the corner for me in December – I can relate. It is a bittersweet time :0)
