Happy Birthday little girl!

Cora Clare turned two years old today!!!  We started the day with cinnamon toast and a paper crown, then a doctor's appointment for her (luckily no shots!).  Then we had lunch at Chic-fil-a and played in the play area.  Then nap time, and finally supper, cake, and presents!  Aunt Brittany is also here today to help us celebrate!

Cora, your dad and I are extremely thankful to have you as part of our family.  Two short years ago we welcomed you one Sunday morning.  We have loved the surprise of a blond hair blue eyed little girl and you continue to surprise us each day.  Your spunky little personality shines through more and more.  And now that you can talk pretty well we are getting to hear words behind all that babble we've been getting for a year!  You sure have a lot to say, and lately sing:)  Thank you for your joy and enthusiasm.  You are such a fun girl and I can't wait to see what the future hold for you.  I thank God for you each day my beautiful sweetie pie.

Here are some recent pictures and some from this day.

I thought Mikey needed a new photo here.  He is growing so much!

Puppy cake.  Cora LOVES puppies!  

Her favorite part was the m&m's.

She was a pro at blowing out her candles.
