Birth DAY fun :)

Hattie and Mommy got to spend a little time together on Hattie's birthday, and we had lots of good times! Then we drove out to Tyler with Daddy to meet Gramma, Poppa, Uncle Jason & Aunt Ashley for dinner at the Cracker Barrel. It was a great day, and we took lots of pictures to remember the special day, August 23, 2011!
Here's the official birthday shot in front of her giraffe (we use it as a growth chart)...

We played with all our new birthday play dough!

We watched our new favorite songs from The Sound of Music several times ("My Favorite Things" and "Do-Re-Mi")! Hattie doesn't move a muscle while those two songs are playing...totally enraptured!

I actually caught her doing what she does when she's sleepy and snuggly with her blanket...she sticks her fingers in and out of the folded seam...so sweet.

Gramma and Poppa got Hattie an Elmo lunchbox filled with some of her favorite snacks!

Hattie always knows where Poppa keeps his pen!

Mommy loves to "get Hattie's sugars!"


Wait...just one more!

Sweet Hattie Girl...

What a blessed 2 years we have had with you, Sweet Hattie! Your spunk, joy, and gentleness touch my heart every day...we are so thankful to be given the opportunity to raise you! Love, love, love!
