Two years ago, our baby girl Preslie was born. It was a birth unlike any other. PINK. I knew instantly that she was strong and had a serious mission to fulfill. It is unreal to me that two years have passed so quickly. 
She had to get glasses in August and has done so well with them. A couple of weeks ago we had to start patching her one eye a few hours every day to strengthen her weak eye. We call her patch her pretty sticker and she loves it. The boys help by making a big deal about how pretty she is and she is anxious to show it to anyone that comes over. 
She absolutely loves dresses and pretty shoes. This very morning before church, she called down to Aaron and the boys, "Guys look at me!" She is our doll and the boys do anything she requests! I'm so grateful she's getting a sister soon, she is definitely our Queen Bee.
Something I want to remember about her at this age is her attention to detail. She honestly has better fine motor skills than Ben! She loves to write and draw and mimicks Ben and Parker in everything academic they do.
Of course I'm completely biased but I think she's genius!
Her birthday was on Tuesday and we have a long standing family tradition that on the day of your birthday you're woken out of a dead sleep to the song"Happy Birthday". Parker and Ben were so excited to wake her up they were up at 6:00, in the shower, and completely ready with gifts in hand to start singing. It was adorable. They got her a build-a-bear bunny and they knew she would love it.
She kept saying "Oh Bunny, oh bunny." It was so darling.
Her first pair of dress up shoes. She pranced around all day!
(These pictures are in no order apparently,) That night we went to temple square to see the lights and loved every minute despite the cold.
Earlier that afternoon, we went out and played in the snow. Another thing about her right now I want to remember, she loves being outside and lays crumpled at the door if someone leaves without her. Daddy's girl no doubt.
We ended our night with candles and cupcakes and after she finally figured out how to blow one out we seriously re-lit thirty times
Look at the look of complete personal satisfaction.
Oh how we love this girl. Happy Birthday Sweet Preslie!

What a doll! She really does have such a funny and sweet personality. I love the pics of her writting, what 2 yr old holds a pencil like that! Genius for sure! We love you Pres girl.. happy birthday princess!
She is beautiful! And will make a great big sister. Time goes by way too fast I wish we could slow these little ones down. One minute they were just born and in a blink of an eye they are 2 years old!
Happy Late Birthday!!! It is so fun to have a girl in the mix. (As mine is bawling in the other room because I took her lunch away or spilling her brother's water on purpose). Oh, the joys of girls!! :)
She is such a doll. I can't believe she is two! Wow, time flies. When are you due? Soon- or have you had the baby?
