Happy Half Birthday!!

It's a Happy "Half" Birthday Celebration!
And look what we are giving away to celebrate AA's 2.5 birthday day - some of her favorite things!

We have a tradition in my family of giving a small gift on a child's "half" birthday. My younger sister was born exactly 7.5 years after I was, so on my birthday, she always got a gift to open too.
We have so much to celebrate as it has also been six months since meeting our newest daughter! We celebrated her Second birthday while in China.

Six Months Ago! We are amazed how long ago it was since we were in China (September 20, 2008) celebrating AA's second birthday. That's us in the back row, next to the last on right.... next to Ruth and Abigail).

As a celebration of AA turning 2.5 years (yes, I am going from saying "She's 29 months old" .... to 2.5 years old), we have a GIVEAWAY for one of your precious children. Even if you do not have a child, maybe you can think of someone to pass this gift on to or to pay it forward.

We purchased several items that AA just loves...
Elmo DVD and Elmo book;
Elmo undies;
Cookie Monster;
Her (and our) favorite sippy cup and forks & spoons (all disposable/reusable);
Socks with gripper soles;
Hair ties for pony tails!




Here's pictures of Alyzabeth at 2 years old .... We love seeing her grow, smile, laugh, giggle, run, talk (still babbling) and her kisses and hugs! She is so precious to us!
While in China, once she would let Baba near her, her first smiles were playing on the floor with a small covered container that was in the room.....

At her birthday party in Chongqing City, China, she retreated (as usual for her) away from any of the other families as I stayed close by....


Here's a picture from Sunday, March 15th - She will be 2.5 years old this week!!
The beautiful dress is a gift from Catherine at Catherine's Chatter. So cute! And perfect to wear as it was 80 degrees outside this past Sunday!

To get in the drawing, simply leave a comment with the name of who will get to use all these goodies (the child's name please!).

In one week, check back to see who won! Friday the 27th we will hold a random drawing!
