Sienna's 2nd Birthday party

I don't think Chris or I have really stopped to realize that we have been parents for 2 years now! Her birthday is the 27th, but her party was this past weekend, just a small party with no other kids so that she could be the center of attention, just how she likes it! She was having the time of her life yelling at the AFC/NFC finals matches on T.V. with everyone else ("oh, fumble!"), and was very polite when opening presents, putting the wrapping paper in the trash bag and saying thank you to everyone who gave her gifts. The funniest thing is that she wanted a spoon to eat her cupcake (well, the frosting) after she blew out the candles. Very different from last year's demolition of her cake! She was very excited to hear everyone sing the "Happy Birthday" song for HER, since she has had lots of practice singing it for others at her daycare, to the point that any time she sees a candle or a cupcake, she says, "oh, happy birthday!" Needless to say she was wiped out by the end up the day, and went to bed early, I think she slept for almost 12 hours last night - if we hadn't woken her up, who knows how long she would have slept! I only have a couple pictures because as hostess I always forget to take pictures, but auntie Jenny got some good ones too, so we're good. Thanks to everyone that made Sienna's day a happy one - the attention is the best gift she could ask for!

Surprised she sat on Santa's lap! I wasn't going to push it by telling her to smile!

Ah, December. Fun times, but glad 2009 is over. We ended up all getting the stomach flu in the days leading up to Christmas Day, so I do not have too many pictures of the season. The best Christmas gift for Chris, Sienna, and I was the gift of health! Sienna loved the Christmas lights ("pretties"), sang Jingle Bells a LOT, and had the cutest way of saying Santa Claus. She also liked saying "elf." Wish it could be Christmastime all year long!
