I know. It’s pure craziness with all these birthday posts.
And birthday pictures.
But – since we couldn’t celebrate her first birthday – we had some serious catching up to do.
And I wanted to share, since some of y’all asked, Poppy’s adorable romper was a birthday gift from my friend, Shasta.
Who, along with some of her friends, is doing some pretty cool things for orphans over at Create H.O.P.E. Designs
Thanks for making Poppy feel like a princess on her big day, Shasta.
And, because it gives a glimpse into Poppy’s excitement on the night of her party, despite the ensuing chaos around her (sister whining, brother annoying, parents trying to get her attention), I thought y’all might get a kick out of seeing our girl in action below.
The girl was seriously on cloud nine.

Dardi says
Oh, my goodness, as far as I’m concerned, you can do as many birthday posts as you want! Loved seeing her sassy, happy self marching around with that balloon. What a blessing to be able to celebrate her 2nd birthday with her (we are hoping for some relocation of mountains to be able to celebrate our little one’s 2nd birthday with her in March…it’ll be tight).
Karen says
That is a testiment tp the loving family that she liver with now. What a change since you brought her home. I’m like Dardi – you do as many birthday posts as you want.
