Early Birthday

The birthday week has begun... today Alexis got to celebrate her birthday at Beth's house. She will be two years old on Friday! Unbelievable. Where does the time go? It seems like only yesterday we were looking at this tiny little baby and wishing she could tell us what she wanted... and now we have a very stubborn toddler bargaining for just one more cookie... or one more story... or one more "fill in the blank" that will push back bedtime a little later! On Saturday she visited Santa, and screamed and clung to my shoulder the whole time. This morning Laura (our sitter's daughter) asked her if she sat on Santa's lap, and she said "No... I cried!" Honest little thing, isn't she? It is a lot of fun to see everything through her point of view. Tonight she yelled at the cats for wrestling under the Christmas Tree... "No Max! No Stormy! Bad cat!" Too funny! We are definitely enjoying every second.

Here she is showing everyone how old she is going to be...

Make a wish!
