Happy Birthday

Today was a very special day.  Little Bear turned TWO!!  

What a great age, so full of exploration and learning...gaining independence and a personality starting to shine through...meeting milestone after milestone.  Two is Terrific!!  We celebrated in our hearts on her special day.

   There were cupcakes and a balloon...necessary items at a birthday.

 (Pictures to come...) 

 Presents to be purchased in her Birthday Auction. 

And friends and family...also good to have on your birthday.

The only thing missing? The. birthday. girl.  She spent the day alone, in an orphanage, on the other side of the world.  The last birthday spent alone though!  Next year, the celebration will be grand and best of all, it will include the most important piece.

This baby...

...is growing up.

Happy Birthday Little Bear!

I love you to the moon and back!
