Just the Jensen Family: Hallie is TWO!!!

Our sweet little strawberry-blond nugget is TWO! We're looking forward to celebrating with family and friends once we move into our new house, but here's how we celebrated so far...

Grandma & Grandpa Scearcy gave Hallie an early gift before they left out of town. It was a basket full of plastic fruits and veggies that she could cut apart. I love Hallie's expression every time she "cut" the fruit and veggies.

Friday night we went to the fish fry with some of our friends and Hallie and her good friend Rose had a fun time getting their faces painted and got cool balloon animals.

Saturday we went to Build-a-Bear with Aunt Carla, Clete and Kate. Each of the kids picked out a bear and got to "build" it. So fun!

Sunday morning (Hallie's actual birthday), she was greeted over breakfast by a birthday video text from her good friend Rose. What a sweetheart!

Then Daddy brought Hal a special donut and I Mommy made her bacon (her fav) for breakfast.

Then she opened up her gift from Daddy. It was a velcro ball/paddle set that would help her learn to throw and catch. Hal and Daddy had a blast playing with it. Lilly had to get in on the action too :)

Mommy got Hal a set of Cars 2 fischer price wheelies to use on her car tower. These were a hit! I love hearing her say "Mater!" and "Lightning McQueen!" with excitement. She's still working on "Finn McMissile" and "Francesco Bernoulli" ;).

After nap time, we headed to dinner at Red Robin and told Hal we were going to see the new Muppets movie afterwards. She's been talking about the Muppets for a while now.
