Second birthday party

We threw a party on Saturday to celebrate Veronica's second birthday.  I didn't take nearly enough photos from the event (I tried to be a good host and to enjoy the moments rather than record them).  But I did get this one of our special little girl moments before the group gathered around and sang "Happy Birthday" her:

We held the party at Stevens Park.  Below is a picture of the scene taken before our guests arrived.  You can see the "taco guy" setting up.  There's a playground close by that kept the kids busy during the party.

A friend took this one with my camera during the singing.  V had been preparing for this moment and managed to blow out the candle on her own!

The party was a success!  V's actual birthday is Wednesday of this week.  I'm looking forward to a smaller scale celebration with just the three of us.
