Marley's 2!!

The cupcake pyramid.

Elizabeth's new trick ... using those flubby muscles in her legs!
A little scared of Grandpa
Can a guy ever get enough tools ... I don't think so.
(Disclaimer: Marley started off looking so cute for her birthday party, but after playing in the sandbox, eating pizza, wetting her pants, and ending up having to wear a pair of her uncles underwear for shorts - let's just say she didn't look her best)

The boys were very excited about the pictures they colored for her.
She picked out her wrapping paper.
I'd say this little toy was the big hit.
Putting the phone in her purse.
Sadly, this wasn't as much of a hit. My mom made her an apron that we've both been pretty excited about. We thought she would LOVE it. Not yet, but she soon will.

This is her flying position.
If you look closely you'll notice a small box of candles on the fireplace. She decided to take a bite out of one.







After things had wound down a bit the adults were sitting at the kitchen table and through the family sliding door, and my parents bedroom sliding door and through the curtains, we were able to see Marley sitting in my dad's chair all by herself, having a conversation with a princess.
Marley's toys have been quite a hit with Dannon too. He loves the babies diapers and the cell phone.
Attempting to diaper her Tinkderbell doll.
Dannon is such a sweet big brother.

oh my gosh i love this post!! The costume turned out so great mel! Adorable. Hopefully she'll warm up to the apron. You just have to wear yours and have her help you cook. SO cute

So, I looked at these pictures a while ago and never made a comment . . . I keeping thinking about the pictures of the cupcakes and wanted to say they are absolutely fabulous! It looks like you organized a great birthday for Marley. I love the apron your mom made (hopefully someday Marley will too), and the Tinkerbell costume you made is so cute! What a cutie you have.
