Emma's Second Birthday Party!

We had a little party with our families at the house for Emma's second birthday and it was great!  Nice and low key, and most importantly, the birthday girl had a blast!

You'd think it would be easy to grab one quick photo of her in her little chair.  Not so much.  This was the best I could get.

Most of my attempts turned into these shenanigans:

Let the party begin!

Ha ha!  Love that face!

Little Rock Stars!

Birthday girl was NOT a fan of the party hat.  It lasted for this pic and then was gone.

Now she's a happier lady :)

 Mommy and Daddy with the birthday girl.  (Note: her personal camera is in hand and ready.)

Here is the obligatory "Happy Birthday" video!  I love how she sings to herself :)  (And take note of Luca digging right in in the middle of the video!  Ha ha!  I never noticed that until now.)

Her attempts at blowing out the candles turned into her grabbing for the lit candles.  Good times ;)

Had to go with the Frozen themed birthday cake :)

Party guests:

Lovin' that cake!

The younger guests :)

Gift time!

She loved this rain hat from Aunt Tina and Uncle Jay!

... and bows.  She loved all of the bows :)

An Anna costume and an umbrella.  She's all set :)

Even Luca got in on the Frozen/rain gear dress up fun ;)

Addy was all over it.  An Elsa costume?  Yes please!

And here come some more failed attempts at a "birthday girl" pic:

But Mommy was persistent ...

There's a smile!  Not looking at the camera, but it was the best I could do.  Tough age for photos, let me tell you!

And I saved my favorite picture for last.  These three have my heart :)  Happy second birthday to the sweetest, smiliest, silliest little lady around.  We love you to pieces Emma Jane!
