Bella turns 2!

It seems like yesterday she was born.  I remember it well.  She's been such a b-a-b-y for the last 2 years.  Lately, however, she's been showing us that she is not a baby so much anymore...or is she.  She can be the sweetest little thing, and yet has reminded us that she has hit the TTs (terrible twos) early, in fact, compared to her siblings who were late in that area. (We had the terrible threes with them.)

A Horton birthday wouldn't be complete without a week's worth of celebrating.  We started the occassion the day after Thanksgiving, celebrating with family the soon to be 2 year old. 

After that party, it kind of went to the back of our minds.  However, the other children were quick to remind us on Saturday that her birthday was indeed that day. 
We went to Pizza Hut for lunch and played at the mall all afternoon.  We finished celebrating with a big cookie, instead of cake this time.  She actually blew out one candle! 

Afterwards, of course, she was exhausted.  Ok, and so was dad.  (Incriminating, I know)
