Greer's Birthday Day

We started off lazy, letting everybody sleep in.

Greer woke happier than a lot of days...she must have known that it was her day!

Since we were too late to go out for a special breakfast, we met Daddy instead for lunch. As we were leaving the house, Greer turned to me and said, "Mom, I need purse." Apparently, 2 is when you are grown up. She carried it around with her so seriously while we ran errands.

After playing instead of sleeping during naptime, she got up in time to see Daddy for a little bit and welcome the Baileys who arrived for a weekend visit. Their Claire is just a month older than Greer. After getting everyone ready, we went to the Links for dinner with them and the Clantons, also in town for the weekend. (More about the weekend to come.) It was so fun to play with all the kids and have birthday cupcakes after to celebrate Greer's day!

Dancing to the music card that the Links gave Greer for her birthday.

From there, we were off to Daddy's football game. It went much better than I expected for Greer due to the no-nap afternoon and late bedtime! In addition to the Bailey kids, the Gs had a great time with Eric & Jessica's nephew, Mac, and Aunt Gretchen. It is always quite busy, but mostly fun. There will come a day again that I get to watch the game...but then I'll miss my babies being babies!

Great visiting time with Katie!

Gehrig & Cameron did some practicing for their upcoming 1k on the football field after the game!

And Greer got a sweet birthday hug from cute Mac.

We all pretty much crashed immediately when we got home, with the boys camping out in Gehrig's room like big kids. It was a good, long day...with more celebrating to come for the birthday girl!
