Happy Valentine’s Day…

What a Valentine’s Day. We had an early dinner at Sub Station II. (Mel is on a diet and was starving by 4:30), went home to watch “Zoe’s Dance Moves” (Elmo’s sister) and watched McCanless dance in front of the television for 1/2 an hour.

We did give McCanless a beautiful pink Sleeping Beauty dress with a hoop skirt and all, but she cried because she didn’t have the Sleeping Beauty slippers and refused to wear the Cinderella or Snow White slippers. She got over the shoes and wore purple fluff shoes, but cried when we had to pry the dress off of her for a bath.

We did have a romantic moment…we (all three) went outside to see the beautiful full moon and had a sandwich kiss.

Mel ended up sleeping with McCanless. Sleeping Beauty didn’t want her prince to leave her.

Our two year old beauty queen…

Back Track…to the birthday

This was the invitation that Mel and I created…

Everything was pink!! We had pink lemonade, pink cake, pink straws, pink ice cream, pink balloons, and even pink “McCanless is Two” coozies! McCanless had a great time until the kids arrived! As we all sang Happy Birthday, she pouted and yelled, “Don’t sing that!” What a great day!

Later that night, with all of her new birthday presents on and around…

Hurricane McCanless hit!

Daddy was awarded!!

A Visit to see Mimi and Bapa!

McCanless loves to ride the Ferry over to Daufuskie Island to see Mimi’s school! McCanless stayed with Mimi and Bapa on Hilton Head this past weekend while Daddy and Mommy went to Jekyll Island, GA for Aunt Michael’s wedding.

A stroll in the yard…

McCanless always wears her sunglasses when the sun is “TOO BRIGHT.”

…and a girl must always have her purse.

McCanless loves Bally, her kitty. Not too sure that Bally loves her…

Splish, Splash! I was taking a bath!

McCanless loves to “cook” Daddy sandwiches!

This is the kitchen set that Mimi and Bapa (Sarah and Bob) gave McCanless for her birthday! We had to put it in her room. Her playroom is running out of space!!

It isn’t saying much for me, but I don’t think she understands how the stove works. When I ask her to cook for me, she immediately places pots in the microwave.

I’m still working on getting birthday pictures to post…I was so busy at her party, that I only took one picture! (hint, hint…anyone that has birthday picutres please email them to me!!)

YES, this is me…

I know this isn’t the greatest picture of me as a child. Only mom would disagree with me on this one. Don’t you think this looks a bit like McCanless?
Maybe just the hair…
