Molly's 2nd Birthday Party

Yesterday, we celebrated Molly's 2nd birthday a few days early with a ladybug-themed party at our house.  Ella was a great help in preparing for the party and Molly was excited to have a "ladybug birthday."  Molly had a blast and was so much fun to watch as she enjoyed herself.  Thank you to our family who came to celebrate such a special little girl.

 As I was preparing the other food, Molly was on the counter saying, "Yum...mmm!"

When I looked over, she was bent over, licking the icing off of one of the cupcakes!
