This post was supposed to be posted on September 17th but since my computer got stolen when our house got broken into, I'm just getting around to it.
Today this little lady celebrated her 2nd birthday. I truly can't believe my baby is two. Time is going waaaay too fast. This year we decided to keep things simple. We chose to have a family swim party at my Mom's house with pizza and subs. This morning we went to football games for the boys and then headed over to Sugar's to finish up the decorations. I put the Birthday girl down for a nap so she wouldn't be exhausted and sent Jeremy for the balloons and subs. I finished up with some fruit cutting and last minute decorations. About 15 minutes before the party was to start, Jeremy woke Miss B. up to get her ready. He brought her out to me and holy cow...the fun began. She took one look around at her decorations and got so excited that I was mad at myself that I didn't have my video camera rolling. She started screaming, "PINK!" "PINK!" and pointing to all the balloons and tissue paper balls. She literally squealed with joy. I've never seen a 2 year old get so excited about "PINK!" She totally knew this party was for her and that all that hot pink was hers.The birthday girl loved her PINK party. She swam, ate, and enjoyed every minute of being the star of the show. She got lots of babies from her cousins and a darling outfit and backpack from Sugar.
Here is a little about the birthday girl:
I think she may be color blind. Everything right now is, "blue"
She looooves to tease.
Don't even try to get in the shower while she is around. She will take it all off and get in with you.
Speaking of taking it all off, Miss B. loves to take off and put on her clothes.
She still takes a binky for naps and bed time. It's more for my sanity then hers.
Her favorite meal is breakfast.
She can climb anything! (but hasn't tried to climb out of her bed)
She loves to read.
She can sing too.
She is really happy most all the time.
She dances anytime music is playing.
She climbs onto the countertop and helps me make dinner each day.
She is a loud talker.
Every night when Jeremy walks through the door she says, "Hiiii Daaady" in a flirty but cute way.
She has learned to work her Daddy.
She constantly asks me all day, "Where the guys?"
Here is the birthday girl touching and admiring all her "PINK!"
That would be my Ledger-Man flying across the pool.
And that would be the birthday girl hanging from the basketball net.
Swimming with Dad is so much fun!
You should have seen this girl trying to blow out her candles after we sang to her. She kept doing these little puffs. Finally we had to have one of the kids help her blow them out.
Miss B. loves and adores our cute neighbor Mallorie. Thanks for coming to the party MalMal!
Eating ice cream in the warm jacuzzi is always fun.
Showing off the two crisp , one dollar bills she got from G-Pa.
It was all about baby dolls this year. She got dolls that crawl, dolls that talk, and dolls that are just plain cute and soft. Oh the excitement from this little mama!
This next part of my post is strictly for our out of town family and friends who couldn't be at the party. They have been wanting to see pictures of the party so here goes...
I am a huge invitation person. I think the invitation sets the tone for a party. I almost always choose my party colors based off the invitation. I thought these were simple but cute.
"We All Scream For Ice Cream!"
One of the highlights of the party was the ice cream bar.
There were a ton of toppings to choose from.
The kids were in heaven...as were some of the adults!
I am a huge fan of balloons for birthday's. The hot pink and lime green balloons in the back of the table are 36". They were so huge but so perfect! I think the hot pink and lime green polka dot balloons are adorable too. As you can see, I had a fun time on the Cricut Machine. I am loving projects that are quick and easy.
Jeremy made this cute poster for the birthday girl.
This was at the entry of my Mom's house. What a cute way to start a party!
