Happy Birthday Joanna!

But 1st a fun picture of the girls opening a surprise present from the Valentine fairy - my sweet Aunt Sandy. They were both so excited to get the shiny red package and open it up.

We had a really fun time at Joanna's 2nd birthday party today! Here are some cute pictures...you can see even more at Joanna's blog http://www.txpencefamily.blogspot.com/

Anna trying to defend her plate from the ravenous Birthday Girl. Bailey is a little more laid back than our fireball and didn't mind sharing her food so much.

My big girl sitting at the table! She sat here for a long time but sadly fell out of the chair eventually. So many random crashes at this age - turn your head for a second and bamm! Anna survived that time OK, I'm sure Emma will too. I can't believe she's going to be a year old soon!!!

Joanna eating her cookie cake. I missed a pretty funny moment - Anna, who was sitting across from her at the table looking every bit as chocolate covered, looked up at Joanna and said "Oh, look at you!!!" Luckily my friends got some evidence! Being the take charge kinda girl that she is, Anna took it upon herself to clean Joanna up.
Balloons are always a big hit!

Back home in our little car. She is fascinated by this experience, until of course she slides out of the seat and gets stuck under the car. I think she's getting used to it - she doesn't really cry if I get her out pretty quick.

Sorry the little video is sideways... I had just taken a picture sideways and forgot to turn the camera back for the video. I tried again but she was just looking at her feet by then.
