Sofia's 2 1/2 Birthday Luau

Sofia 2 1/2 Years Old

All day long as we prepared for her party.

This silly girl danced around and figured out

First-  What dress she was going to wear (most important)

She had to change before the party.

Second- She would dance with her prince to music.

Daddy is going to be her prince.

Third- She got to blow out the candles

Fourth-  Her friends were at "My Party"

We had a Luau.

She loved the fancy drinks.

We had Raspberry sherbet and sprite.

Noah called it "Sofia Soda"

The umbrellas were the kids favorite part.
I also made a volcano cake
that had smoke "erupting" from the middle.

We had a major pirate battle with the against this ship 

and Fort Tuna with Captain Charles W the Tuna

We talked and played and opened presents.

This girl I tell you is so gracious.

She gets so excited about each and every little thing.

it is a joy to give to her.

Amy "the hair whisperer"

had to give Sofia her first set of hair tools.

Fia made everyone much more beautiful the rest of the night.

I don't think the men had ever felt so beautiful before

Nonna finished an embordery project.  Hooray!  I love the bag

and it will be perfect for church.

I just love it.  Such a thoughtful present.

They also gave her some decals for her nails.

Which seems to be the favorite present.

Noah gave Sofia some "Guys"

After that it was all over.

Princesses were dancing, singing talking

and showing their dress to all

What a fun successful night.  

I think we will stick to her party being on her half birthday.

I Already Know

This boy loves me more than any other Mom.

Do you know how I know?

He told me so last night after he snuck out of bed for a drink.

I reminded him of what we had going to do today.

And as is his usual response was

"I already Know"

I said "I was just reminding you"

Noah said  "Mom, you know something?'

"What?"

"I love you"

"I know, buddy,  I love you too"

"Well, Mom I was just reminding you.

I love you more than any other Mom"

"I love you more than any other boy and do you know why?

because you have a huge imagination and you use it everyday.

And you have a huge heart and notice how people feel around you

and try to make them feel good and happy.

And not every boy know how to do that."

"Really"

and he puts his hand up to his heart

"Mom,  that made my heart pound really really hard."

Mom,  I love you cause you always help me all the time

and you have a big heart for your kids.'

Hugs and snuggles all around and he promptly went back to bed.

Makes it all worth it
