She's TWO!

I always knew the time flies...but I never TRULY understood until I had a child. And I watched as she changed and grew every single day. Sometimes WITHIN a day - I swear she grew while I was at work! She's a blessing and a joy and the light of our lives!!

We didn't do too much yesterday for her actual birthday since Sunday is the big "I-Keem Social Party" but I did make a "Saucy Pudding Cake" I found on kraftfoods.com. It was so good. Here is my abbreviated version of the recipe.









Neh-Neh and Bapaw came over later to give her presents and bring her balloons. I caught their expression at the door when they saw Stella - I love this pic!





Dora Balloon!! Dora = Obsession these days!




Opening Presents




















Dora and Mermaid!!!





Performing brain surgery to get the dang dolls out of the box. GEESH.




Not to make this about me, but I need to wear make-up ALWAYS. Scary! But whatever, it's me and my girl - and that's all that matters.
