Prince David Turns 2!!!!

I've mentioned before that there's a family I love dearly. Meg and I went to school together from Kindergarten through 12th grade and remain best friends. When her older sister, Mia, started having kids, I became their main babysitter. Evan, Emma, Abby, and David are like the nieces and nephews I don't yet have. Well, Hannah, too, but she wasn't here yet.

In fact, Hannah's pending arrival was the reason that we celebrated David's 2nd birthday on October 2nd (his actual birthday is October 29th..... just like my mom's). Meg went with a Very Hungry Cattepillar theme and did SUCH a great job!

The birthday boy...........

Emma and David playing like the sweet cousins they are...... Apparently, Don wasn't playing nicely and was sent to play by himself, lol............

In the middle of the party, I decided to play photo shoot. E, E, and A are used to me and my camera. Ev and Ab aren't always up for it......... Em is ALWAYS up for it, lol.

Evan and I............ silly faces

Just a normal one.....

Suprised look........

Sweet Angelface and I.........

My Emma and I

Always up for silliness........

A group of crazies!!

Silly AND sweet.........

Abby (age 3) decided to play photographer, lol.

Meg had all sorts of games set up for them. One of them was a "cacoon" that they had to unravel to find their prize.........

Mia and I pause from the unravelling for a quick photo-op!

Back to the cacoons..........

All of them at once.............. except for David who is more interested in an unsupervised plate, lol.

I love this picture!...... They were just chilling and I grabbed the camera...... "Nana", Emma, Robyn (the youngest sister, with whom I also went to school), and Robyn's hubby Eric.

This pic of Meg and I is pretty much the only time I got to talk with her, lol. She was so busy playing hostess. Later on the next week, she called and said, "Everyone left and I realized I didn't even get to talk with you! I was so sad!"

And, Emma is in...........

Now, Abby joins the fray, lol.........

YAY!!! I get one with the birthday boy!!!
