It's all about the Owls.

Little Lexie Lou's second birthday party was today! It was super cute. I mean, look at this face:

 
She instantly makes any party rock.

And because I can't resist this photo:

BAWWWWOOOOONS!

D'aaaaw.... my kids.

Grandma and I were at Cracker Barrel last week and happened upon an owl hat that we instantly knew Lexie would love because the girl LOVES OWLS. And this hat was awesome, so I kept searching through the rack for one myself. But what gives? It only came in toddler size! What's with that? Only toddlers can have owl hats? That's so sad!

Anyway, I've been mildly searching on and off for owl hats on etsy. I've looked for these before, without success of finding one I really liked, but I stumbled on this tonight:

Happiness.

Okay, so I'm not actually buying it (yet). I've discovered how great hats are for keeping a little extra warmth in, so at some point I'll probably pick up an extra one for this year,but this one is a little pricier than I was hoping for. Nonetheless, I still think this one is awesome. Maybe it'll go on sale.

As for Lexie, she loooooved hers. They were having trouble getting her to sit down and open gifts, and when the hat was the second gift in she was pretty much done. She jumped up, threw it on sideways and went parading around. She knows what it's about.

D'awww.... Red Panda Cuteness.

Aww.... red pandas have been born at the Zoo!

Curious. I remember the red pandas being born last year, but I don't remember seeing them. Does anyone else remember them? I just remember the two adults. But it also sounds like they moved them pretty quickly. Sadly, the article doesn't mention whether we get to keep these or not and I guess its doubtful since we didn't keep the others. But with the new Asia exhibit next up to bat maybe someday we'll get to see the baby red pandas. 

Either Celeste or Yoda! OKC Zoo

Then I became curious what baby red pandas looked like.

D'awww....! Too cute.

Awww......!!

Love the tail curl. 

Seriously, this last little one has such an awesome expression on his face. Okay, that's a good note to end on. Sweet dreams, everyone!
