August 29, 2009 - Another 2nd Birthday party for Cambelle

Cambelle turned 2 years old on August 29th.  We had an early family party in Atlanta and another party on her birthday in Switzerland... so we made up for not having a 1 year old birthday party last year! (Mom had morning sickness and a stomach bug then...so, party planning was pushed aside...)  Anyway, lots of fun... Pooh Bear was all over the house and the yard and lots of friends came to play...Jacob, Eva, Charlie, Sam, Benji, Molly, their parents and, of course, Kacey and Will. 

A pre-party gift from mom, dad, and Kacey...

"I'm TWO!"

Can this box really be opened?

A giant Pooh Bear!

"I will squeeze him and hug him"

And Kacey keeps saying, "I have a Pooh Bear like that somewhere, don't I?"   Mom says, "Ahhhhhhh, yeah...somewhere...yes." Then changes the subject.  Yes, we regifted the Pooh Bear Kathie and Danny gave Kacey for Christmas a few years back...  Pooh can handle some more love, but mom can't handle more stuffed animals!
