Tom Cruise says daughter Suri is an "amazing blessing" in his life.

The 'Top Gun' star and wife Katie Holmes celebrated Suri's second birthday over the weekend and Tom admits he has never been happier.

Speaking at Suri's party on Saturday (19.04.08), Tom - who also has two adopted children, Isabella, 15, and 13-year-old Connor, with ex-wife Nicole Kidman - is quoted by the National Enquirer magazine as saying: "I've never been so happy in my entire life! I have the most amazing wife and children. I couldn't ask for more.

"This is such a wonderful evening, and I am so thrilled and blessed to be with my family to celebrate the life of my beautiful little angel. She is such an amazing blessing."

Katie added: "She's our pride and joy! We are so blessed, and are spending the weekend celebrating her life."

Guests attending the party at the exclusive Beverly Hills Hotel included Tom's mother and sister, Katie's parents as well as Isabella and Connor.

Partygoers dined on a feast on appetisers of warm goat cheese salad and Suri's favourite of creamed corn. The main course was salmon and lobster, while the birthday girl opted for macaroni and cheese.

After her birthday cake was served, Suri posed for photos with chocolate icing around her mouth.

A source said: "Katie held Suri for most of the night. Sometimes she would pass her to Isabella. Suri sat on her dad's lap for a while and later she was running around like any normal little girl."
