Bella's second birthday!

We had a WONDERFUL time with family for Bella's birthday. Everyone came into town - both sets of grandparents, both sisters, and both brothers-in-love. It was a full-out party weekend! And, as always, it's just great to be with family. There were two grandmothers with their cameras and me with my camera...so, i'll post her pictures in installments. On Sunday, we all headed to Liberty Community Church, the church that Mike pastors at. We certainly LOVE that church and it is definitely our second family. I had a hard time keeping it together through the service - being surrounded by all our family, having a sweet two year old, hearing my dad play an amazing song on the piano, and hearing the hubby preach a beautiful sermon just did me in! Actually, I didn't hold it together but that's ok. They were all good tears. After the service, we had a potluck meal with everyone at the church and they were sweet enough to get Bella a cake!

Enjoy the pictures and i'll post the rest of the party pictures later.

Here's our church. Yes, it is as cute and precious as it looks in the picture.

Bella decided she wanted to take some pictures. Here's the first one...
and here's the second one...
See her little fingers? It took her a while to hold two fingers up. For a while it was one or all 5! But she was so cute when we would ask her how old she is...she would enthusiastically respond by putting both fingers up (sometimes it would just take a while) and say "TWO".
A great picture of Nana and Bella.
This picture gets me every time.
