First one with us

Although we celebrated Sunshine's 2nd birthday last week, today was her actual birthday.  Her first one with us.  I didn't have anything special planned for today because we already did all the fun stuff, Sunshine had no idea it was her birthday, and well, the hubs is still out of town too.  It was pretty much just an average Sunday here for us.  But I still wanted to document the day, so I decided to do a "Day In The Life" series all about Sunshine.  I missed some moments here and there, but got most everything.  I limited myself to 1 shot of each different time, that was really hard!

Morning Sunshine, love your precious bed head and your serious face.  Happy 2nd Birthday my love!

A few minutes of Mama snuggles to start the day off.

A few minutes of big sister tickles also makes the morning go well!

And some more special bonding time with big sister as she attempts to give you a non-bed head do.

Mmmmmm, breakfast.

Inspecting the beetle with big brother that mama accidentally let inside while watering the flowers.

Her new "cheese" smile while sitting at a stop light on the way to church.

Playing in the nursery at church - big sister stayed with us today too, that a was a nice treat!

On the way home from church and perfectly happy and content sans-clothes after the car throw-up disaster ... I'll just leave it at that.

A quick stop home for a wardrobe change and then out to lunch to celebrate at one of our favorites, Noodles & Co.  She's really starting to get the hang of feeding herself with a spoon!

Playing and goofing around after lunch at home, right before nap time.

Ahhh, middle-of-the-day sleep makes everyone happy, especially Sunshine!  She loves her naps!

Playing in the basement after nap to avoid the humidity.  Apparently I am not a very scary tickle monster.  LOL.

More smiles and giggles before dinner, I just love that face!

A very non-birthday-celebration-dinner of chicken nuggets, goldfish, crackers, and nutri-grain bar (again) ... I gave her whatever she asked for and that was it.  LOL.

Last bit of pretty smiles for mama before it's time for bed.  I lost track of time and didn't get her in the bath tonight, although I really meant to!

One of the best parts of the day ... snuggle and singing time with mama and her blanket as we wind down for the day in the rocking chair.

Today was a great, nothing-in-particular Sunday ... everyone got along and there was lots of tickling, giggling and smiles.  A most perfect kind of day indeed, just missing Daddy!  Happy Birthday to our Sunshine - the best birthday for you so far because we were blessed enough to be able to spend it with you.  We love you to the moon and back baby girl!
