Gemma's 2nd Birthday Party!

Paul's sister, Marie, and her husband, Brian, joined us for the weekend on Friday evening, and on Saturday we had Gemma's birthday party. It was a small, Peppa Pig-themed affair with just the 7 of us in the house (and some international skyping and facetiming!). We opened gifts, barbecued for dinner, then enjoyed the cake. After dinner, Gemma went to play outside with Brian, who is her best buddy at the moment. Both Marie and I were told to 'go inside' and 'shut the door' when we tried to go out and play with them! We had a really nice, relaxed day celebrating our two year old!

On Sunday we headed back to Dublin after a wonderful week plus in Louisburgh. Before we left, we marked Gemma's height inside a closet door where Paul and Marie's heights were marked as they grew. We had also done it just two months ago, and I couldn't get over how much she had grown! She is now 2 feet 11 3/4 inches!
