Natalie's 2!

We had a great time celebrating Natalie's birthday.  We went to the Battle Creek Zoo in the morning with Nana Helen, Pa and Uncle Scott and had a fun family dinner that evening.  Natalie loved when everyone sang to her and she blew out her candles.

It's hard to believe our little lady is now 2.  She has such a fun personality that continues to grow each day, along with her confidence, independence and imagination.  Chasing Ali, coloring, reading books, watching her Disney movies, going to the park, zoo, beach or on walks are some of her favorite things to do.  In true girl fashion she loves her baby, she's starting to really gravitate to pink and purple and insists upon dancing like a ballerina with us.  However, above all she loves her family, we are constantly asked where her grandparents or aunts and uncles are or what they are doing.  She loves her FaceTime calls and spending time with everyone.

We are so lucky to have a such a healthy, happy, smart and sweet daughter.  It's so nice to live a life where it is required that a hug be accompanied with a kiss (or vice versa), kitties meowing are hilarious (real, cartoon or person) and I love you is said "I love me too."
