and we celebrated: birthday post #2

Saturday Brett and I hosted a little party for Stella at my parents' home. Most of my family was able to come plus a few aunts, an uncle, my grandparents, and my friend Ashley, and her two-year-old daughter, Asha. Naomi made a super cute pink owl cake! We bought some snacks, appetizers, and mini cupcakes in case there wasn't enough cake. We ended up giving Stella a little cupcake with a candle in it, and then we sliced up the cupcake in little pieces for her, and she devoured every last piece. One little crumb fell off onto the table (she was sitting in a Bumbo on the table) and she dived for it. It was hilarious. Everyone brought a sweet and thoughtful present for Stella. She was also able to do a little Skpe session with her Johnson grandparents in Ohio! This girl doesn't know how much she is loved yet! Seeing family and friends love her and have fun playing with her warms my heart to no end. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
