We had her party at the house again as its "easy" to do a pool party. Although next year I am rethinking how easy it is and will be on the hunt for the perfect 3rd birthday party spot. We made sure she knew the day was all about her and leading up to the big day we went over "how old are you going to be?". She quickly picked up that she was turning the BIG 2 years old!
Andy came the day before to drop off the bounce house he borrowed for us and to say the least it was HEAVY! Ben managed, somehow, to get it to the back yard so when Andy and Cheryl got here they were able to set it up pretty quickly. Even Ben got in on the bounce house fun!
I tried to prepare everything, as much as possible, beforehand so there wouldn't be so much to do the day of. With the help of Yvonne, the imagination Wonder Woman, it came together perfectly! She came over early to help me set up...thank goodness! I found these cute acrylic candy dishes and Yvonne had the great idea of putting white "garage sale price tags" on them so they were more Minnie like! Turned out super cute! I bought paper Minnie lanterns for decoration and of course they were missing the bows that actually made them Minnie so Yvonne to save the day! She made bows out of construction paper and they turned out even cuter than they were before. To say the least...not sure what I would do without her creativity!
Everyone arrived and the party began! Miss E was having a great time! She swam, played in the bounce house and ate some yummy birthday cake! THE CAKE! The cake that turned out so super cute and then turned out to be somewhat of a disaster as the we watched the icing melt away from the cake before we even got to sing happy birthday! None the less it went in the tummies of all the kids that joined us to celebrate the 2nd birthday of the sweetest, smartest most beautiful and funny girl we know!!
Happy 2nd Birthday Emma girl!!
