Alexis Grace turned "2" on November 10. We had her party on the 8 because Matt has to work late on weeknights currently. The party was a success. We had some Tastefully Simple dips, cake, homemade pie (crust even), ice cream and drinks! We just invited family because for anyone that has been to our house you know our living room cannot handle more than like 2 people.
She enjoyed eating and singing and opening presents. She was excited all day for her party. We kept telling her it did not start until everyone had arrived. When people started coming she knew it was her time to shine! She was fine until she realized that everyone would be watching her.
She loves putting money in her bank, so we had to slow that down or we could have been opening presents until midnight.
Enojoy the lovely pictures.
Her actual birthday was an adventure as well. It started with Aiden having a fever or 102 the night before and with Alexis and I receiving flu shots, then I had to take him to the doctor so I dropped her off at Memaw's for her very first tea party. My mom said that was funny. They ended up with tea on the floor and Alexis dressed up in jewelry, hat and big clothes. Mom has pictures on her phone, which unfortunately do not upload very clearly! I may give them a look.
So, all in all I am thankful that we planned her party for Saturday because we would have had to cancel yesterday.
I am so blessed even when my children are sick. Still running a fever this morning a little, it may help if the little guy would actually swallow any of his medicine. As you pray, remember my kids. Until next time...keep your eyes continually on Jesus and how He continues to bless each and every one of us. Especially in the little things that we so easily overlook.
How Can I Rejoice Now?
