The opening of the presents.

After the party we came home and opened all of her presents and there were a lot.  That is one thing that's nice about her birthday being in the middle of the summer...since Christmas and her birthday are space right about 6 months apart, we don't ever have to buy in between toys.  At this age they developmentally grow out of their toys pretty quick but most of them last 6 months! : )  Sorry, got off subject there. 

We were trying to wait until Stephen's parents got there so they could watch her open presents too.  Well there was a large bag with tissue paper that she got a hold of which contained a giant tent!  This was from Angie and Edward.  As she pulls it out of the box I hear Stephen say, "holds up to 6 kids", well I thought he was being a smart alec...but oh no.  This thing was massive!!  It's absolutely adorable but we have a small house.  This thing takes up the entire room but hey, she likes it so that's all that matters...right?

Sporting her Tinkerbell slippers and Dora suitcase. 
As we opened each present she of course wanted to play with it.  Here she is sitting in her new chair, wearing a hat she got, next to her new baby doll and stroller, playing with her "pooter" while daddy feeds a baby lion cub with a set of bubbles at his feet!!! 
Feeding Abigail, her Cabbage Patch.  For those of you that grew up with Cabbage Patch dolls, they still smell the same!!!  I love it. Brings back fond memories.

So three posts later, I have finally wrapped up Hailey's 2nd birthday.  (Oh and we had another birthday that Sunday too).  It was a busy weekend but we had so much fun. 

Thank you to all our friends and family that celebrated with us and for those that couldn't make it, I hope for once my long winded posts made you feel like you were there.  We missed you.
