Birthday Pics

Merrin had a WONDERFUL birthday weekend! On Friday we made and took special birthday cookies for Merrin to share with her friends at preschool and she was treated extra special by getting to wear a birthday hat given to her by her teachers.

On Saturday Merrin had her Mickey Mouse birthday party and I think she had a GREAT time. Lots of Merrin's family and friends came to help her celebrate and we can't thank everyone enough for making the day so memorable. After the party the celebration continued by skipping nap time and heading to the neighborhood playground on Merrin's new "bicycle" as Merrin likes to call it. Needless to say Merrin was exhausted by bedtime. The weather cooperated beautifully though, we couldn't have asked for a better day to have a party.

On Sunday we wrapped up the birthday weekend with a bang by riding the train downtown with our friend Jill and her son Noah to see DISNEY LIVE! Merrin got to see Mickey, Minnie and the whole gang. She had the BEST time. I was so proud of her as she sat there like a big girl throughout the entire show. You could see her eyes light up each time Mickey took the stage. She wasn't as familiar with Handy Manny or Little Einsteins but she enjoyed seeing Pooh Bear and Tigger. All in all it was a fantastic birthday weekend. Ah...to be two again!

We also celebrated my mom's birthday this past Tuesday and my dad turned the big 60 on Friday along with Merrin. This coming week we will be celebrating cousin Ethan's birthday (turned two in March) as well as Aunt Jill's birthday on Easter Sunday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYONE!!

Also, I couldn't leave Mr. Elliott out...here he is enjoying the birthday party on Saturday...just chillin in his favorite chair!! He is seven weeks old today!!
