TWO TWO IS HERE! I had to arrive early when it was a freezing (for me!) 50 degrees at 7am to CLAIM a table. 
Then it was time to get Tatum so I headed home to say ARISE MY DARLING!
We headed to the park and awaited the guests. 11:30…The party at the train park was a hit because so many loved ones joined us. I had to share grati”two”de with all of the attendees, so I wrote TWO things I’m thankful for each person.
Nothing else can describe how I feel today.
(thank you Marlena, Addison and Alexa for the signage!!!)
All of us sang to her and she just enjoyed all of the eyes on her. 
Thank you to all who came and enjoyed the thrills of Tot and cake. 🙂
One of the greatest gifts she received was an easel from Jocy, my dearest friend.
This will grow with her as she becomes more paint and art literate 🙂 She also received many train gifts, books, and of course CLOTHES. Nancy had a shirt made with her name on it and Psalm 139. Bobby even adopted an elephant in her name! An elephant! My dear mom made a delicious train cake FROM SCRATCH! Marlena and her girls made sure we could see the party with their designs!
Her enjoyment of Thomas the Train continues, and she makes that known to all with her knowledge of Percy, Henry and James. Percy seems to be her favorite right now due to his friendly smile and helpful attitude for Thomas. (I’d like to think so)
The end of the day ended with Tatum grabbing a balloon saying, “clip to me?”, grabbing her hat and hiding in the corner. 
We read her new Thomas books, Devotionals and Prayers. These two years have been the best (and biggest growth!) of my life. I’m honored to be your mommy.
