Celebrating Two

A party, presents, pass-the-parcel, pals, a pine cone hunt, pink cake. Perfect.

The weather may not have been as glorious as last year, but you didn't mind. A little bit overwhelmed at first, you soon got into the party spirit and adored having all your loved and beloved's in your house at once. You didn't want it to end, and the next morning asked for it all again.

I wish it was your birthday party everyday, my favourite day of the year, getting to celebrate you, and how much we all love you.

The start of a lovely weekend of celebrations.

A re-posted picture, because I love it so much and it sums up your birthday weekend perfectly.

Happy Birthday my love.
I honestly don't understand how these 2 years have gone so quickly!
A few highlights from your day (there's plenty more pictures to follow when our weekend of celebrations is over)
I really hope (and am actually pretty sure) that it was your best day yet.
Love you forever and always our little noodle.
