The Birthday Festivities . . .

We had an awesome day for Phoebe's birthday. We didn't plan a party but I bought a special outfit and we planned a special day.

First step take some pictures to remember Phoebe's special day. You only turn 2 once and we wanted to make sure it was documented well.

Rocking her awesome birthday outfitDallas was reluctant to get in the picture. He hate getting his picture taken lately.

We went to the mall so she could play and make a bear at Build a Bear.

She had a lot of fun climbing everything and hopping around. She got alot of attention while we were at the mall. Everyone seemed to notice her shirt and wish her Happy Birthday. She loved it all.

The most handsome 4 year old around

We let her and Dallas ride on the little carousel for a few times.

So much fun!!

Time to make a bear. Much to my dismay she picked a panda bear. I was trying to get her to make a kitty.

Making sure the bear is soft enough

Dallas making his bear. I couldn't let her get one and him not. I'm nice that way. Scrub, Scrub, Scrub.

Washing their bears and making sure they are extra clean

Next stop was The Disney Store to pick out a present.

Dallas didn't want to be in the picture so Daddy cheesed it up for us at Red Robin where we went for lunch.

Watching the people at Red Robin sing Happy Birthday to her. I took her shirt off because I didn't want it to get dirty.

I've taught her well!

This is how you do it, who needs a spoon?

She is a pro for sure!

Yum!

It was a princess overload this year!

One day this girl is going to rule the world!

One of her presents, it's a Cinderella Dress

She picked out this cake 3 weeks ago and talked about it all the time. She was so excited to have her rainbow cake. As I type this she is looking at the picture saying, "that's my rainbow cake!!!"

Trying to blow out the candles from 5 feet away, lol!!

Blowing out the candles with Daddy's help. She wanted to do it alone but didn't want to get close to the flame.
