Today was Gwen's 2nd birthday party! I had a ton of fun planning it, and I think it turned out quite well! We had some great friends come to join us in celebrating, but I did not get any pictures of those friends. So thank you to the Claysons, Beth, Hickmans, and Ubertis! Gwen had a great time!
First I have to thank Joan at
Bitsy Creations for the wonderful invitations that she did for me! She is super fast and does wonderful work! I love everything she does! She's also a great friend of mine! Those blemishes are not her doing, I smudged out my address so its not on this public website.
I made the sign myself!
And I made this one - and the giant 2.
Can't forget to post the hanging chinese lanterns that Brian complained about every time he hit his head.
Tiny details -
Candy galore
I made the cake, triple layer, vanilla, chocolate, vanilla with an orange buttercream frosting.
The whole spread.
Homemade lemonade, grilled cheese and grilled cheese and tomato, cucumber sandwiches, and PB&J for the kids
Homemade guacamole and store bought wraps (these were my least favorite thing)
Birthday Girl!
Excited big Sis!
Singing, don't blow yet!
Keep waiting - sorry Brian for the bad picture!
Yay! Good job! She actually did it all by herself after a few tries.
Its always a good sign when people eat it!
We asked for no gifts for the party so we opened the presents after the party!
How do I play with this dumb thing? She liked it a lot once the plastic was off!
Now for the big one!
I love the suspense of little kids opening presents! Its hilarious!
Is it a good one?
And its in another stupid box!
Finally!

Sorry, for some reason my comment posted 3 times, so I had to delete two of them. I hate when that happens on my blog, because it makes it looked like more posted than what really did. Sorry!! :)
