Dear Lucy,
It's the end of the day after your 2nd birthday party. The house is still a giant mess, with balloons all over the floor, wrapping paper waiting for the recycle bin & most importantly, happy memories in our hearts.
You had an amazing time with all your friends & family. Your family from Edmonton all made the 3 hour drive to be there to help you celebrate another year. And several of your close friends (and their parents) came to party (or par-ee as you would say) with you. I would say you are one lucky & loved little girl!
You were a little too overwhelmed to eat the lunch your mom fussed over....you mostly ate chips. But, it was your party so I let it go. You didn't have any problems eating the cake, ice cream & strawberries however!
I decided to do somewhat of a "strawberry" party because of your undying love of strawberries. You would eat them everyday, all day, if I would let you! There was also some streamers & balloons and a few other decorations your mom made.
You had so much fun opening presents. You got some super awesome gifts - your family & friends are so generous!! Grandma & Grandpa (who you have started calling PaPa.....so-so cute!) got you a little play kitchen.....which was a big hit with all the kids. But, I think my favorite reaction was when you opened the doll from Aunty Tish & Uncle Jeff and you squealed so loud - like a crazy excited teenager girl! Then you chanted, Baby-Baby! So hilarious.....and yet it made you seem so old!
We are so-so lucky, blessed & amazed that we have had the privilege of being your parents for 2 whole years......love you more then you know.
Love,
Mom
PS since you were born, I have called you sweet-pea. Now you call your dollies "Squee" which your Dad and I finally figured out it "SweetPea" in Lucy-Language!
