Ok, Xaris can be 2 now...I'm finally blogging about her birthday.
Sorry it took me so long to get the pictures up! The problem is not my lack of time on the computer (because I work every night after X is in bed...wonder how that schedule is going to work out for me once there's two of 'em??)
The problem is not my disinterest in blogging--because I keep wanting to post more and keep checking friend's blogs!
The problem is remembering to download photos from the camera to the computer. And needing to find the cable to do so. Or the adapter for the SD card. That one little step is what prevents me from posting so much more than I do--and lately, many of this blog's pictures have been from the iphone, because I can e-mail them to myself and then just have them directly on my computer.
Anyways, I just found the cable, connected the camera, and now have pictures from a 2 year old's birthday picnic to post! It was the most beautiful day possible--warm, borderline too hot, but tolerable, and we snagged the last picnic table in the shade!
Started out with wagon rides from Gramama, while we waited for guests...She looks grumpy here, but I think it was just sun in her eyes.
She wanted more wagon rides...
Picnic lunch!
LOTS of bubbles
She really got the hang of opening presents this year
X's friend Jack ("Yack" is what she calls him) and his mom Leslie!
Other guests--Gramama, and the two pastors I work with, and their wives!
Loved this picture--not sure what this face is, because she loves these cupcakes and devoured it on her birthday picnic.
Cupcake in one hand, cookie in the other...what a happy girl!
Exploring the Peter Rabbit Flower houses in the Arboretum...
We had lots more adults than kids at this picnic--however, if all the families we had invited were able to come, it would have been the other way around. Maybe we should stop having birthday picnics for X, as it seems illness will strike a large percentage of those invited? Anyway, she did have two little friends, Jack and Luke, to play with, and we are so grateful for all those who came to celebrate our girl!
Closing shot: A thank you and goodbye hug for Jack.
