A Prelude to the Twos










Last Friday we commenced Ally's grand celebration by inviting some little friends over for a play date. They all made party hats (Ally was the only one who'd agree to wear the creation) and then helped themselves to cake, brownies, and ice cream. Then we ran around the backyard for awhile, chasing balls and frisbees, and warming ourselves in the sun.



After everyone went home and Ally finished whining about not being able to disappear with her friends, we took a walk around the block. (And that gave Chris a chance to clean things up. Thanks, honey!) Ally decided that she should be in charge of the camera on our expedition, so here's a picture of me and some of Ally's other favorite things in the neighborhood.




Stay tuned for pictures of Ally's actual birthday and video of her favorite part-- the opening of presents. Thank you to all who were kind enough to spoil our munchkin queen on her big day!

Happy birthday from Aunt Airy, little Ally. I especially love the picture of you praying. A future Mother Theresa in the making? Your daddy did used to be an altar boy ...
