birthday party

A week ago we had a party for Little Missy's 2nd birthday. I wasn't sure how many people would come, since it was a party for a little girl who doesn't understand birthdays and barely understands parties, but we were surrounded by her little friends and their parents whom I hold dear. Our home, filled with people we love, was a great way to celebrate the birth of our precious daughter.
