I'll have you know that I was completely prepared to simply take the family to McDonald's to celebrate Fiona's 2nd birthday.  Then the husband mentioned that maybe we should invite a few more guests...
"You mean go bigger?!"  (Enter my OCD, perfectionist, planning-crazed self.)  Good riddance, Mickey D's.
My mind immediately searched for a party theme.  (OCD Hayley is convinced that she may self-destruct without one.  And really, why risk it?)  So what the heck is my soon-to-be-2-year-old into these days?

| "Boots." | 
  | 
| "Boots." | 
  | 
| "Boots." | 
  | 
| "Boots."  (And a little bit of potty training.) | 
...and a Boot party was born.

| Finally, a pair of boots in her own size. |

Experimenting with her new  "Terrible Two's" status | 
Happy Birthday to my (*sniff*) big girl!
"Who loves you, Fi?"
"Mamaaaa!"
(Darn right!)
