My Sweet Leah turns 2!

I can hardly believe my little Leah is turning 2!  Where has the time gone?

Growing up, I was never the biggest Halloween person.  I mean, don't get me wrong, I'd dress up and OBVIOUSLY hoard candy like I'd never get it again...but it was never a special holiday to me.  That was until my little "Mischief Night Baby" (very accurate...she is SO mischievous!)  was born on October 30th.  She loves the decorations, counting down to her special day on our Halloween count down calendar, and everything spooky!

From this excitement of hers, I have found a new love for this holiday and a desire to make it as special as possible for her.  After much preparation - cleaning, cooking, decorating...and of course baking a ton...we were finally ready for her party and to celebrate her 2nd birthday. 

We ate good food, decorated pumpkins, and shared a lot of laughs...as we always do in my family!

Everyone had a great time, especially the birthday girl!  She loved spending time with friends and family, opening presents, and of course... eating her sweets! My little girl has a huge sweet tooth, just like her mama!

The apple and pumpkin cookies I made as party favors were a huge hit:

The birthday girl absolutely devoured a slice of her birthday cake, and half a pumpkin cupcake as well!  She truly has a love for dessert, she is my daughter after all! :)

It was a lot of working getting all these sweets ready (and to my standards!) for Leah's big day, but at the end of the day it was so worth it to see her enjoy every morsel and every minute of her celebration.

Well, the house is put back together and my little "sweet" is tucked into bed...time to unwind with...what else, a cup of coffee and a nice slice of cake.

I hope all of you had a sweet day just like we did.

Thanks for reading, and eat those sweets!
