On Saturday, we had a little birthday party for Julia. It was small, just our family and a co-worker of Eric's and her daughter, but it was a fun night. We had pizza and cake and the kids had fun playing.

| She got a few cards in the mail and she opened them today (Tuesday) on her actual birthday. She was pretty happy about her My Little Pony card from Grandma Steffen |
 |
| We saved a few presents for Julia to open today too. She definitely understood opening presents and the boys were excited to see what she was getting. |
We had leftover cake and some ice cream after dinner tonight and Julia got to blow out her candles again today. She is pretty good at blowing candles out. The kids had fun playing with her new toys and Julia was happy to take her new baby to bed.
It is hard to believe Julia is already 2- so much has happened in those two years. She is a happy, energetic, 2-year-old. She loves babies and feeding them, wrapping them up, and taking them for walks in her stroller. She loves playing with her brothers (even when that mostly means driving them crazy). She really wants to sit in a big girl chair and use a big girl cup, but seems to make a big enough mess every time we try that she doesn't get to do it for awhile. She likes to do everything on her own (or "self" as she likes to say). She likes to give hugs and kisses. She always has a smile and keeps us on our toes. Happy 2nd birthday Julia Marie!!
