Sick Butterfly

Our Lauren Bug was a sick girl on her 2nd Birthday.  She was just getting over a really bad cold and her eyes were still infected.  We spent most of the night snuggling, all she really wanted on this particular day.


What's all the fuss about?


Presents opening was a little difficult.  The usual gusto was long gone.  Here we are trying to get her excited for the gifts Elise chose for her sister.  


Yes, Elise chose clothes for her little sister.  Those who know me, know I hate toys...and no I didn't force Elise to choose clothes for Lauren.  It was pretty cute when Elise was shopping, she wanted to find the perfect outfit for sissy...purple shirt, shorts, and flower sandals.  I was happy to oblige :)


Here is the party girl, getting some snuggles from Grandma Lou.  There were plenty of laps she was welcome in this particular night.


Lauren loves books!  We decided to have "A Very Hungry Caterpillar" party.  Super cute, thanks Pinterest for the fantastic ideas!


This is all the smile she could muster...poor thing!


Despite the look on her face, the biggest highlight for Lauren was blowing out the candles.  That girl is obsessed with fire!


Enjoying some delicious cupcakes!


And one of big sister.  Elise was a super helper and did a great job letting Lauren enjoy her special day.  Sadly, Elise was not the center of attention (for a change).  But she was over her cold, and was more able to enjoy the festivities than Lauren.


Awe.  My baby is 2.

I couldn't help but feel bittersweet on this particular birthday.  
But what a joy to watch these two grow up.
