Birthday Blowout Saturday!

This was one busy Saturday for us! Birthdays galore! Our friend's daughter, Sophie's friend Brianna, had her birthday at a local farm, Lewis Farm. Of course Sophie had an absolute ball. She has been so excited about Brianna's party ever since I mentioned it, which I made the mistake of telling her about too early in the week, when you tell a two year old that they are going to a birthday party at a farm with animals, they think they are going in the next few minutes, whoopsie on my part! The party finally came and I thought that she was going to burst with excitement! She got to ride a horse for the first time ever. The horse that she chose to ride was named Honey, and she was so proud of herself, she kept saying, "I ride the horsey, Honey." She played her little heart out there and was such a trooper especially since the party was dead smack in the middle of nap time, so needless to say she passed out in the car on the way home.

Nap time was cut short because by the time we got her home and in bed it was almost 3pm and by 5:10pm she was still out like a light, so I had to wake her up. She woke to find my parents here ready to celebrate yet another birthday! My Dad's birthday was Friday, but they came down to celebrate with us today. Sophie was so excited to give Papa his present, a great framed picture Neal took of the two of them doing the crossword together. After dinner we of course had cupcakes and ice cream, Sophie was so stoked and was pretty excited about the mess she made on her face.

It was a busy Saturday, and it does not look like there will be much rest for us tomorrow. Neal's parents are coming down to help us do some yard work out front, basically an over haul to make it look pretty since it is sort of desolate right now. Hopefully the weather will hold up for us and be just as pretty as it was today!

Patiently waiting her turn to ride the horse, she is so sweet!

So excited that she successfully helped blow out the candles.
