A Colorful Party!

We celebrated the 2 years we have been so blessed with our precious daughter, Camille! They have been 2 years that Clayton and I would never trade for anything! We are so thankful for the opportunity to be this crazy girl's parents! She is amazing us every day right now with all the new things she is coming up with! She is beginning to talk up a storm! She is such a girly girl! She LOVES her babies! She feeds, rocks, burps, changes their diapers, takes them on stroller walks, gives them "wipey" baths and pats them to sleep. She is so sweet with them! She loves to dress up and she actually loves to wear bows now! I knew this day would eventually come! She is also beginning to enjoy tv for the first time. Her favorite DVDs to pull off the shelf are The Incredibles and Annie. I was so proud when she loved Annie...it's my all time favorite movie! She loves to find choo choos, cool (school) buses and motorcyles on the road.

We celebrated her 2nd birthday at our house the weekend before her birthday. She had a crayon themed party.

We had a great cardboard house outside for all the kiddos to color and decorate themselves.

The markers weren't such a good idea. Camille immediately had blue marker on the front of her shirt and Titus enjoyed decorating his face and arms. They dissappeared quickly!
I also had huge sidewalk chalk for them to draw with and colored shoelaces to string fruit loops onto for the big kids. Camille didn't really get the stringing part of it...she just enjoyed the fruit loops!

I found Crayola rings that I put in the colorful cupcakes and my mom helped me find Crayola drinks to serve to the kids. I also found crayon shaped popsicles.

It was a beautiful day and everything was great! It fun to see her really enjoy her party and gifts for the first time!

She got a full dress-up outfit for Snow White decked out with crown, gloves, necklaces, purse, dress and high heels from her Aunt B. She walked around in those high heels like she knew what she was doing. She would fall down, but keep the shoes on and keep on going.

On the following Wednesday, her actual birthday, she got the stomach bug! While I was getting her dressed that morning, she gagged a little but I just thought it was from some conjestion. I tried to get a cute birthday picture before we left for school, but she wasn't really in the mood! She had asked for milk before leaving but I just gave her a cup of water instead...thankfully! Halfway to the sitters house, she got sick everywhere! I just hated it for her! I called my school so they could start looking for a sub, called the sitter and then called Clayton to let him know we were back home for the day. He offered to stay home with her instead and I said 'Sure!' I hate having a sub and especially 15 minutes before I was to be there! When I called the school back, they had already found a great sub so they talked me into staying home as well. So the three of us enjoyed a day home together on Camille's birthday. Once 10am rolled around and we began giving her 1 tsp of Pedialyte every 10 minutes, she was fine. She never ran fever and never slowed down! It was very sad because every 10 minutes when we gave what seemed a drop of liquid, she would wine and say "milk, milk". I felt so bad for her because she didn't understand at all!
