We had a family friend come and stay with us, visiting from Europe for a few days so we took her to Stone Mountain. The weather couldn't have been any more beautiful. Amalia surprised us all and insisted on not being helped more than half the time. Any time we tried to hold her hand we got, "No! No!" and "Stop!" Thats one independent girl! From time to time she would lay on her tummy on a rock and do her fake snoring, cutest thing ever. Every time I climb Stone Mountain I wonder why I don't do it more often.

I always do  little something special on the actual day of my kids birthdays. For Amalia we started at 6 am with her gifts.  We spent some Mummy and2  year old time then had some cookie cake with her best friend Kinleigh when the boys got home from school. I think her favorite word is "boys".  She is always looking for Kaiden and Ethan saying "Boys! Boys!" They are her favorites, probably because she is their favorite. Anyway, then she did the swings, slide and trampoline with Kinleigh. I am so happy to have these 3 little (some not so little) people in my life. I love my "big girl" and I look forward to all the crazy, fun, sweet, special experiences we will all be sharing with her this year! Amalia, you are loved.

I cannot believe our baby will be 2 tomorrow! Where has the tie gone? She is so much fun right now, I love this age. She loves Sophia The First, and to be honest, so do I, so of course we had to have a Princess Sophia Tea Party with her best friends. This party was the most darling thing I have ever experienced. We had 3 stations.  Painting station, food station, and tea station. They painted Sophia painting, got Sophia tattoos and had a Princess tea party. Most. Precious. Thing. EVER.
