Throwback Thursday--2nd Birthday Edition

Lovebug's 2nd birthday {ahem, 2 months ago} was picture perfect, as you will see by the zillions of pictures below.  We are so grateful to have such wonderful family and friends share this special day with her.  Even her boyfriend, Marcus, came to celebrate :). 

We ate, but of course, the real fun was opening presents!!!

After presents, she just had to cheese it up for everyone...

...as well as get a kiss from earlier mentioned boyfriend :)

{Daddy will not be a big fan of this picture...shh!}

After presents came the best part, well to this Mama anyway... CAKE!!!  I worked my hiney off to make Lovebug the perrrrrfect cake, and I think it turned out extremely well.  What do you think?

Silly head gear and the candles came next, followed by pictures with a few of our friends and family.

Once all the excitement of the day had come and gone, Lovebug had a chance to help Daddy water the bushes... but more importantly, use one of her new presents :)

{what.  don't you water your bushes in your party dress???}
