Siena’s second birthday was in December, but I never had a chance to blog about it!  Back when we lived in the apartment in Shawnee, we used to go to the storytime at the library over there.  We met two great gals through that time and their sweet daughters are right around Siena’s age.  We have continued to get together with them for playdates and invited them to Siena’s birthday party.

On the day of her party, neither one could come because they were sick!  HUGE BUMMER!  The party was scheduled on a Saturday, so since Ryan was home, we went ahead and had a party just the three of us.  We were able to schedule another party with Siena’s friends on her actual birthday a few days later.  She didn’t seem to mind all of the celebrating - and cupcakes!  :o)  We traveled to Colorado for Christmas and both Ryan’s family and mine had parties for her too - it was a month of the never-ending birthday party!  Siena loved every minute of it!  I think she is still wondering why we aren’t singing to her everyday and eating cupcakes!  :o)

The party theme was an easy decision this year.  Siena is really into kitties right now, or “mimi’s” as she calls them.  None other would do than to have a Hello “Mimi” party!  (With lots of purple thrown in, as it is her favorite color right now!)

Here are photos from her first two parties - I have yet to go through our Christmas photos, but hopefully will post those soon!

Loving the Hello Kitty (mimi) decorations!

I look sickly here, but sharing this anyway - it’s the only photo with our whole family! :o)

Even Siena’s cherished Fuzzy Bear got in on the partying!

I don’t care who ya are, cupcakes just make you smile!

The girls made Hello Kitty paper dolls - they picked out what clothes they wanted her to wear and decorated her with lots of stickers and crayons.

Hard to believe two years have gone by.  Siena brings so much joy and laughter to our lives!  Our sweetest blessing!  Happy Birthday, Baby Bear!
