Happy Birthday Mercy!

Our sweet girl turned two this weekend.

Taylor likes to make it fun for the girls when they wake up by decorating their rooms and surprising them- so here we are waking up the birthday girl on Saturday morning:

It was a team effort: though there aren’t any pictures of it, Ted helped out by bringing the food, and it was amazing. His barbecue, and ribs were up there with the best I ever had.

Taylor and I stumbled on a picture of Rosie having some breakfast from Biscuitville on her second birthday, so we got a sausage biscuit for Mercy to ring in her big day. Here they are side by side:

We did a few presents, and mostly just hung out and got ready for the party.

It was Rosie’s idea to have a birthday theme of “hAPPy Birthday!” to celebrate with an Appalachian State themed party. Though they lost the game, the party was a blast.

Everly came over a bit early to hang out. Though sometimes Mercy is a whining little kiddo, when she is with her big cuz, that all goes out the window and they have a blast together.

The whole night was a blast. The pictures tell the story best, so I’ll just leave a bunch of them here:

After the party, we cleaned up. It was a great success. We all got along, the kids behaved mostly awesome. We found some weird trash in weird places.

Then, we got to have a nice quiet dinner to round out the weekend:

    What a great little family making cherished memories. We miss you all so much. I noticed the table and chairs in one of the pictures. It has been through many uses and celebrations and seems to have held up well. I have never seen another one as cute and well made as that one.
