Birthday Girls

Elle and I shared a birthday last weekend!  Elle turned 2 and this momma turned 29.  We had plans to go to the aquarium that day, so we all hopped in the car and started on our what should have been a 25 minute car ride and ended up being an hour and a half ride.  But, we enjoyed our time together in the car.  Then we got downtown and the line to get into the aquarium was wrapped around the building and it was 30 degrees outside and windy.  So, we decided to have a change of plans and headed straight for Toys R Us so that Elle could pick out her very own birthday gift.  It only took us another 45 minutes to get there because of the downtown Atlanta traffic.  Gotta love traffic!  But, we got there and Elle had so much fun picking out her own gift and it was such a special afternoon.  

Check out those adorable pink cowgirl boots!

 She's really into Tigger and Pooh Bear!

 And of course, her very favorite Disney Princess...Arial.  She was my favorite too.   :)

 Love her.

 She was favoring these mermaids for a while, but eventually found another toy to go home with.

 Birthday girls!

Landon got to pick out a small toy too...can't take a kid into Toys R Us and leave empty handed...it's impossible!

 And this is what the birthday girl chose...baby Cinderella along with some new books.  She sings and glows at night for soothing sounds to fall asleep to.  Very cute.

After leaving Toys R Us, we headed to our local Gluten Free bakery to get some yummy cupcakes for all of us to share!  I've been trying this out now for about a month to see if it helps my sinuses to reduce inflammation and I must stay, these G-Free cupcakes were AWESOME!

 She loved that icing!

 Mmmmm...

Down the hatch!

 Happy girl!

The 2 for our sweet angel and the 29 for her ol' Momma.  :)  Next year we will be able to share candles again too for the big 3 and 3-0!  Whoah...not ready for that one though haha!

Love sharing this special day with my baby girl and best birthday present I could have ever received 2 years ago.  So in love.
