Two parties for the same girl!

"Come on in, welcome to my party! " Stella's second birthday party in Ft. Wayne with the Rupert family. She wore her hat for some time.

Ahh, young love. Here she is getting a hug from a friend of mine's son, Carlin. They are nearly a year apart. It was fun to watch them interact.

At first Stella was not into the cupcake. She tried to give it to her Uncle Chris a couple times.

Once everyone's attention was diverted she dug in and really liked it. She also had a good time eating her neopolitan ice cream off a spoon. Happy Birthday Stella Adeline. I can not believe you are one today! Every moment of this year with you has been beyond wonderful!
