THE PRINCESS PARTY!!!

PAYTON IS TWO!!!
We celebrated Payton's 2nd birthday with family and a few friends on Saturday November 15th. Payton's grandparents got a Princess bounce house for her little party. She and the other kiddos LOVED it. ( I actually think the adults had more fun in it than the kids did.) Payton really enjoyed her birthday cake and balloons, too. She'd been talking about them all week before the party, so she was very excited to see the cake and balloons on Saturday. It was a very sweet party. I think Payton really enjoyed herself!

Opening her gifts

There's a funny story behind this picture...let's just say that the princess themed party was not a random idea. We picked it because its the most fitting theme to represent life with sweet Payton the past 2 years. Anyway, Princess Payton was in the middle of opening her gifts, when she decided that before she could open another gift, one of her faithful subjects must bring her some "ice water" at once. And, quickly, that is what they did. She opened the rest of her gifts with her ice water in tow.

Blowing out her 2 candles!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PRINCESS!!!
