Cousin Lauren Turns 2!

Our bags were barely unpacked from our trip up north and we were off again to Chattanooga, TN.  My cousin Courtney has the most precious little girl, Lauren and it was time for her birthday.  Her birthday is actually October 29th but because of Halloween they decided to party a week early. 

First of all, Chattanooga is gorgeous!  We've been before, but this time we were there at the at the peak of "pretty leaf season".  Don't believe me?  Check out this view from their backyard:

Yes seriously, that's from their backyard.  Not bad, right?

So on to the party.  Lauren seems to be into 2 things big time - chickens (sign of a future Gamecock I'm sure) and Ariel.  The two don't necessarily go together at first thought, but I think Courtney made it all come together.

First up the chickens (and other animals)

There were so many cute farm animals (sheep, goat, pig, chickens, duck, alpaca, and bunnies).  It was an awesome petting zoo.

You see.  I told ya she liked chickens.

Livie's pony ride.

Ace's pony ride (which he took very seriously).  He actually rode 5 times or more.  He loved it!

Seriously, how cute are these two?

Look at those sweet cheeks!

She very kindly let Livie and Ace help her open her presents.
