The BIG Birthday party post!

The Birthday girl! She kind of has a funny face here, but I love this shot!Some of our friends gathering: Paul David found the trains pretty quickly; Joanna's observing him play. Aunt Missy with Joanna and Natalie
Great Grandma showing Joanna what 2 looks like:

Joanna spent much of the party mooching food from everyone.

Caleb and Aidan spent much of the party racing the strollers around the house!

Bailey all tucked in Joanna's bed. :)

Emma enjoying some good snacks.

Matt with Callie -- just chillin'

Most of the rest of the pictures are of the cake or eating the cake!

Mmmmmm.... cookie cake, my favorite! And Joanna loved it, too. "My tookie," she said.

Snagging some icing -- anyone watching?

TWO candles, this year!

She LOVED watching everyone sing to her. We have video of it, hopefully I'll get around to uploading it at some point.

Blowing out the candles -- Mommy had to help a little.

A pizza cutter is a very good way to cut cookie cake.

Yum!

Oh, chocolate face.

Some more friends -- Amy, Abby, and Josh.

Chris and Aidan.

Messy face, which prompted Joanna's friend Anna to say, "Oh, look at you!"

And proceed to clean her up! Then she got an audience!

She is a very good big sister!

Mamma, Pop, and Aunt Missy

Some of the big group:

Joanna was trying to tell us it's time for presents!

So we started digging in!

Trying on her new shoes from Aunt Missy. The girl definitely loves her shoes.

Joanna with all her loot! Thank you everybody!! She has already played with most of the toys, and they're all a big hit!

Anna with her balloon and goody bag, ready to head home.

The balloons where big hits with all the kiddos. There sure is something magical about balloons.
