Celebrating Amelia's 2nd Birthday

 Our Amelia is turning 2!  Dadam's school schedule needed us to celebrate a little early this year.  Amelia and I had fun picking out all of her birthday party supplies.  As you can see Puppies were the theme of her party.  We found fun plates, napkins, balloons and of course a pinata!
 Christmas was a good practice run for Amelia.  She needed a little cheering and then she was truly a pro!
 Grandma & Grandpa gave Amelia the Little People Zoo for her birthday.  Amelia loved her cousin Brinly's Zoo that she was given at Christmas.  Perfect!!



 Amelia received a fun new phone from her friend Mia.  She can listen to recorded messages.  Her purses have been very busy these past few days.


 Nanee went along with Amelia's Birthday theme!  She gave Amelia a cute puppy that can walk and bark.  Amelia likes to turn the dog off and on and says the doggy is sleeping!!


 Amelia was very nervous and self conscious while Happy Birthday was being sung.  Her older siblings blew her candle out, but we relit the candle and worked with Amelia until she blew the candle out all by herself.  You can see above in the pictures her practice was not only a success, but cute as well.


 The pinata was a cute little dog this year.  Amelia carried it around the store before we bought it.  I was really nervous about the pinata being broken open.  I didn't know if she would be willing to hit the dog and or how she would feel about her older siblings and friends hitting her dog.  Luckily she went first and did pretty well through the whole thing.  When it was all over Dadam asked if she wanted the dog and Amelia said no and kept picking up her candy :)




 The pinata was really quite funny this time around.  The videos will allow you to truly get a feel for the amusing fun that screaming "hit the dog" can bring.





All of the kids enjoyed getting to scoop up the candy!  Amelia wasn't really getting the hang of the candy, but the kids took the time to stop and help her put some candy in her bag.  
Amelia's real birthday will be later this week and we will have a little celebration for her then as well.  I can't believe my baby is almost two!!  Time flies so fast.
