Arianna Turns Two
I know I have been terrible about staying in touch here but I thought a few of you would still remember us and want to see how big our baby girl is getting! She turned two yesterday and we celebrated all weekend.
 First with a family party at home on Saturday complete with a Disney princess theme. Then on Sunday the five of us went out to dinner at our local Mexican restaurant to celebrate. She had so much fun! She seemed to really understand all the fuss was about her. Whenever anyone came in, she was sure to show them her shirt (you'll see why in the pictures below.) If you asked her whose birthday it was, she would point to herself and yell "Nana!" She will also tell you how old she is when asked by holding up any number of fingers (LOL) and saying "two." We all love our baby girl so much! And yes, she is still a baby to us, even if she is two!
