We had a small birthday party for Bella at the St. Charles park the Saturday before her birthday, and we invited all her classmates at her new school.

School Party
On Bella's actual birthday (Tuesday), Gabi and I took cookies and apple juice up to Bella's school to share with all of Bella's new friends.

Family Party
That evening, we invited all our Little Rock family over to celebrate with Bella. Bella loved the birthday song and requested "Mommy sing 'Happy To You' to Bella!" many times, including as a bedtime lullaby.

Playing with Presents
Bella has been enjoying all her new birthday presents. She and Gabi will re-wrap each item, sing "Happy Birthday" to Bella, and let Bella open them again and again. Then they play with the toys together.

Happy Birthday Bella! Sweet girl! May God bless you and may He accomplish His perfect will for your life!!!
Wow! What a great birthday celebration! So glad Bella had a fabulous 2nd birthday - kudos Lissa on making birthdays so special for your girls.
And a side note: Steven's legs are crazy long in that picture...I'm afraid he's going to be taller than me when I visit. Ack!
Hugs to all...Tita
