eleanor is two!

not only is henry one week old today...eleanor is two! 
i think i have a new favorite picture
oh man, i feel sooo lucky looking at this picture
look at all these little darlings that call me mom
 we had a yummy pancake and sausage breakfast
with hot chocolate
i think eleanor thought she won the lottery when michael kept giving her more and more whipped cream
she loves that stuff and was sooo happy
 grandma and grandpa took the girls out to lunch and ice cream
and when they got home we took some special birthday pictures of eleanor
 here she is in her birthday dress i thrifted a couple months ago
 and here she is with her balloons




 after dinner we had cake 
 she was trying to learn how to blow but didn't quite get it
 she loved her cake

 olive was so excited about eleanor's presents
and may or may not have played with them more than eleanor...



sweet one week old henry slept the whole day away
eleanor is the sweetest girl
she's doing pretty well being a big sister
she loves music and dancing
she is easy going and loves her family
she is so affectionate and smart
we are so grateful she's in our family

I love that first picture too. Eleanor's smile and hair are fantastic. She is so pretty! You are one lucky mama and they are lucky to have you! You look fantastic and Henry's cheeks are the sweetest :)

I mean this as a compliment. In one of the birthday pictures, my mind said, "Is that little Michael in a pink dress?" They look a crazy amount alike! I can't believe it! And she's SOOO big now! Sweet that Michael indulged her with her hot cocoa. I love that first thing in the morning picture with all of your sweet angels, too. What a beautiful, lovely gaggle of children!
