BB’s birthday party will be this Sunday but of course we couldn’t resist celebrating yesterday also. We opened a few presents that family had sent and went out to dinner together to celebrate – and of course we ordered dessert!

The little figurines above were actually mine when I was a little girl. My father decided to start sending them to BB on her birthdays – isn’t that sweet?

My grandmother sent her this cute little baby doll. Of course she was immediately smitten, and wanted nothing to do with getting her picture taken with it while she was so busy playing with it, hence this being my best picture of them!

Before we left for dinner, I got the kids all dressed up – it was a celebration after all! Doesn’t she look pretty? I had to stalk her like the paparazzi to get this picture.

Then I tried to get them to hug for a picture. You can see how well that went. Then the second I gave up and started to put the camera away…

She practically tackled him. Literally. Like he almost fell. He loved it of course.

Dan’s parents sent an adorable little dollhouse that comes with Little People! So excited that we finally have some classic Little People toys!

She was pretty excited, too.

What did mom & dad get their adorable two year old?

A new Olivia book all about planning a tea party, perfect because she’s having a “tea party / Olivia” themed birthday party of sorts. There won’t actually be any Olivia decorations, it’s more of a color scheme really – lots of red, black and white and kids dressed up in pretty dresses / nice shirts, etc. Sort of semi-formal for fun with little sandwiches and tea & juice to drink (possibly iced tea if this weather keeps up!

We also got her some ABC magnets for the fridge to beef up our current collection which is missing a good 2/3rds of the alphabet. This set has uppercase and lower case which MM is pretty excited about. Now they should be able to spell just about anything!

And of course there will be a couple other presents at her party also, but I figured I’d recap her birthday DAY now and tell you about the party next week!

Guess that’s all for now, have a great weekend guys!
