Julia's Second 2nd Birthday

Yes, our little girl recently turned two!!!  We had a great time celebrating at Chuck E. Cheese with my side of the family.  Julia loved it all, but I think the adults were a little overstimulated by all of the lights/noise/activity/games/people/food by the time we left.  Haune lovingly described Chuck E. Cheese as "a little kid's gambling casino."  When you think about it, he's kind of right actually!  Julia was spoiled with two chocolate birthday treats, lots of gifts, and special time with family (we celebrated with Mark and Gloria the weekend prior).  Thank you for making her 2nd birthday so much fun!

Even Dad had to get in on a game...

The horse race was a hit.

Barney got LOTS of hugs and LOTS of tokens.

Julia had quite the cheering section as she checked out all of the games.

She made short work of her birthday cupcake.

I know it's going to be all too soon before I have to put her on an actual school bus.

Haune's #1 cheerleader.

This lucky girl got ANOTHER birthday cake after supper!

"Thanks for the trike, Grandpa Gene and Grandma Sue!"

Princess room decals from Aunt Jane.  If this doesn't spice up her
new room in St. Louis, I don't know what will!

A puzzle from us.  I think she liked it.

Mom and Dad brought Julia my Grandma Julia's doll bed which I used to play with.  It looks
like another generation is going to get lots of use out of it.

And there's always time for a little hair trim from Great Aunt Jane.
