Allison turning 2

I cannot believe it but our baby turns 2 on Friday. These first two years have just flown by and everyday she is becoming more of a little girl. We decided this year with all the craziness to celebrate Allison's birthday a little earlier with her cousin Megan. Megan turned 3 on Dec. 16th and with Allison turning 2 on the 21st we thought since they are so little and all the same people would be invited, we would do a combined family party. So on Sat. the 15th we got everyone together and had a Elmo & Zoe birthday party for the two girls. All the cousins had a blast playing together and the girls seemed to have a great time. When it was time to do cake, we took turns with singing and blowing out the candles. This was the only time I think I caught of glimpse from both girls of uncertainty about what was going on for "my" birthday :-) We won't make a habit of making them sharing parties but it was fun for this year. Here are the sweet pictures from the night!
