Jenna's birthday is two days after Christmas so we typically celebrate that first weekend in January. That gives us a week to de-Christmas the house and prepare for the onslaught of family members! Seriously though, we love having all of our family together, even if it is just twice a year for the kids' birthdays.
Our main project was to redecorate Jenna's room as our present to her. We reconverted Ryan's train table back into a toddler bed, moved the rocking chair to our bedroom, rearranged the furniture, hung a new shelf, and added a fabulous new bookshelf (made by hand by my fabulous husband!). Jenna really seemed to love it and it provided much needed room for the new items she got for Christmas.
The party was wonderful and Jenna was a pro at unwrapping everyone's gifts. Everything was so thoughtful, just the right balance of books, clothes, and toys and she has read, worn, and played with it all! I can't believe my baby girl is already two years old. I looked back at last year's posts and it just seems like a completely different lifetime! I've just got to keep remembering to cherish every day and tuck precious memories away (or blog about them!).

UPDATE: Jenna has taken to her "big girl" bed pretty well and has even given up her pacifier! We had some setbacks as the kids have both been sick for the past couple weeks but overall the adjustment went far easier than I thought it would. So... here's hope for all you other parents out there - it can be done and you will survive! :)
