p had a birthday

piper's birthday was june 11th, still can't believe my baby is two. and i still don't feel like we've hit the terrible twos. she is definitely a little firecracker, but the term terrible could never be put in front of her personality.

all she asked for was a "yellow" party. we obliged.

we did presents early to make time for the party guests.

the best part about your sibling's birthday is playing with all their presents for hours.

we introduced the girls to all of their new oregon friends (aka: our friends from college/growing up) and they loved it. why are kids so good at becoming instant friends by running around sword fighting?

such a fun day with old/new friends. she's still talking about her yellow birthday.

piper makes us laugh every day. she is our little comic relief-copy cat-chatter box. she kind of blew us out of the water talking so early. she fully speaks in 6-10 words sentences, i guess that's what you get when you have a chatty big sister. some of my favorite phrases she uses daily...

"i too busy"
"what else?"
"how bout..."
"ummmmmm yes!"
"what kind of animal makes this sound?"
"where grampa rob go?"

and our favorite nicknames for piper right now...

the P
pipey
pea pod
pippity piper
peter pider
piedy
pie
peej
p-diddle
p-dunk
pee pee

love this girl.

So fun. I feel so lucky to have you nearby again!

And I love that you listed your nicknames for Piper. My personal favorite: Pippity Piper. Sounds like something out of a Bare Naked Ladies song.

That is DARLING! You throw amazing parties.

In fact, on Saturday, we had a little party for our baby and I made mini-cupcakes in ketchup cups, which everyone told me was SO brilliant. And I told everyone it was your idea.
