Pizza and Cupcakes

These pictures are from the day before Annabeth's birthday. I hung her banners over the window along with a couple of last year's party poms. Only one stayed up there. Curtis picked up some balloons and flowers for his girl.

The kids enjoyed some hot chocolate. It was so cold outside!

I dressed Annabeth in her birthday outfit for the little pizza and cupcake party at my mom's house.

Bibby greeted the birthday girl, who was very aware that she was being celebrated. We said, "Annabeth, how old are you today?" She'd hold up one finger and say, "Two!"

So many presents, but she's pointing at the cupcakes!

These were from a place called Treat. The chocolate one with white icing and chocolate sprinkles was heavenly.

The balloons made the journey with us. They were very festive.

Thumbs up! (Yes, Jackson lost a tooth but I'm not ready to talk about it yet.)

Annabeth enjoyed her pizza.

Annabeth was very amused by and drawn to the candles in her cupcake.

Notice that I am holding her hands!

Yay, Annabeth!

My kids love cake and cupcakes as much as I do.

Annabeth got some adorable outfits for spring and summer.

And a Dora princess dress!

Aunt Sassa got her a makeup set. She was in love.

Melissa's extensions look exquisite.

We got tickled about Annabeth being a Proverbs 31 toddler.

She had to stop and put on her lipstick. We were rolling!

The boys played some music for us.

It has been an eventful day. We were supposed to wake up to snow covering the ground, but instead there was only ice. What a huge bummer! I cannot accurately describe what a big deal this winter storm has been in our city. We've been hearing about it non-stop all week. I totally bought into the hysteria while my husband remained doubtful. I will never hear the end of it!

Curtis was supposed to catch a flight to Arkansas today, so he drove an hour across town to Hobby Airport only to find his flight wasn't going to make it. At least he got to eat at Papasito's in the airport. A few hours later he made it back home safe and sound. I was filled with fear and dread all morning (the newspaper said there were 100 accidents in 4 hours), but I'm grateful to God for keeping him safe on the road. I hate that he didn't make it to the Disciple Now he was speaking out. As it turns out, the event was cancelled due to bad weather in Jonesboro and they are going to reschedule it.

Whether you're snowed in or free to move about your town, I hope you have a great weekend with your people.
