On her birthday... - Mix & Match Mama

We had such a wonderful day celebrating Miss Kensington’s second birthday!

Andrew brought her a donut home for breakfast.

We surprised her with a new bike (which instead of riding, she spent the majority of the day pushing it into Smith and making him fall down…then laughing her head off…then getting in trouble for pushing it into Smith…and so on and so on and so on).

She wore her Happy Birthday to Me shirt all day (I did wash and dry it while she napped).

Here she is riding her bike (probably toward sweet Smith’s vulnerable body) and reading her birthday cards she received in the mail.

We went to the grocery store where she rode in the little car/cart.

We went to the park to eat lunch with a few friends after everyones baby boot camps. I arrived first with my kiddos and pushed them in the swings. I know this picture is dark but it is very special to me. I was alone in the park, pushing my two babies, thanking God for how he’s blessed me. After so many failed fertility treatments and a discouraging diagnosis, I was in that park with my two babies…two babies that God gave me.

Look at that face? I’m in love :).

This is Kensington kind of hugging Ebby Lee…they decided to just lean in from 12 inches away.

Two best buddies…Nixon and Smith

Nixon decided this party was a drag, so he napped.

Thank you Molly and Ebby Lee for playing with us today!

Kensington LOVED her new step stool! My super creative friend Nancy sells these custom stools online. Go buy one! Now, I don’t have to hold K up to brush her teeth and wash her hands.

We headed to dinner with Papa Jay and Lovie at The Rainforest Cafe. Here is Kensington looking at the big alligator at the entrance.

He’s ready to color…too bad he’s only 8 months old.

You can’t tell from this picture, but this is a souvenir cup we bought her that lights up. You press a button on the bottom and it was lit up and flashing all night.
