Ashton's 2nd Birthday - August 30, 2012

For Ashton's birthday, I had a BIG day planned. Even though we had already celebrated, I knew I had to make the actual day just as special! We had a day filled with fun and friends and it couldn't have been better.

The Birthday Girl

Birthday kisses from her daddy!

Ashton & her YaYa

Opening a few presents before YaYa left for school and daddy left for work...

For lunch, we met friends at Chick-fil-A. It was really special to have Sarah & Steve, Brooke and Becca bring Ashton's little friends to celebrate. THANK YOU guys so much!!! 

After eating, this kids had fun in the play area.

Handsome Mr. Fletcher...he is absolutely the cutest!

Bennett & Claire (or "baby" as Ashton calls her)

After playing, we all went to Lake Ella to enjoy snow cones at Big Easy Snowballs (our FAVORITE place) and to let the kids run around. The kids along with the moms enjoyed the snow cones and it was a great way to end our time with friends!

Ashton, Bennett and Jack

I LOVE this picture...they are so cute!

Becca and Fletcher

(Fletcher really enjoyed his snow cone and he was fascinated that it turned Becca's lips blue)

Ryan, Sarah and Claire

(Claire kept pointing out that someone dropped some on the ground)

Brooke and Becca

Ryan giving Ashton her birthday hug to end our afternoon...so sweet!

Later that day, it was time for the birthday girl to open some more presents.

She loved her new dress up outfit.

However, she wasn't so sure about her new "puppy"...

Her last gift to open...

Ashton an her new Thirty-One bag.

(Aunt Denise will get a kick out of this...she finally grew into her birthday shirt from last year)

Her daddy brought her home a wonderful surprise! We even put a candle on it so she could blow it out.

She really enjoyed it!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY to the cutest, sweetest, little "beast" around! We love you more than you will ever know and look forward to many more birthday's with you.
