Yesterday we had Elliot's 2nd birthday party at the house. It was a milk & cookies theme. We woke up to pouring rain. On one hand I was so happy that we finally got some. But on the other hand, of all days, it had to be on E's party day? What are the odds with the drought that we're going through. Plus Lane hadn't mowed the lawn yet, so he had to do it when it was all wet...gross.
FYI, none of these ideas were my own. I took them from this lady's blog. Her party was a lot fancier looking than mine, but I loved how ours turned out. Everything went great. I felt like everyone had a good time & that's all that matters. It was definitely a full house at our place...20 adults and 24 kids. Thank you to all that came & helped celebrate with us and for all the wonderful gifts! Enjoy the pictures...
It's too bad we didn't even cut the cake. In fact, we still haven't tasted it yet. There were just so many cookies, that I don't think anyone had the appetite for one more sweet thing.
Kids cupcakes
Cookie bags
Those are picture tags on the cups. I think that was one of my favorite details.
Elliot puts her fingers to her cheeks when she says "cheese" because of the song "when you're happy & you know it".
We actually did a redo on the cake which is why there is no table cloth. Everyone had gone home at this point.
I wanted to get a picture of her blowing out the candle, since she has learned how since her 1st birthday.
Her favorite part about the presents was the tissue paper.
So glad I decided to put out the pool. It was a muggy day. Not sure if I would have preferred it to be hot & sunny or overcast & humid. It's a lose lose either way.
Thanks to Amy for lending me the bounce house. It was a hit.

Sorry we missed the party. The decorations were so cute and the food looks great. I got the outfit from Kohl's if you need to exchange.
