My little man turned 2 today! I can't believe that it's already been 2 years! Where did the time go? *sniff*
His party went wonderfully! Yesterday(Saturday)I was able to get my mom and sister to help me decorate. Well, they mostly decorated while my bossy pregnant self walked around barking orders at them.
(JK, I really was being nice! ;))
I purposely had just about everything ready and paid for just days before the party. The reason is obvious that his little sister could possibly make her appearance on his actual birthday.
So I had everything prepared just in case! I still wanted him to have his birthday party even if i could not be there at that particular hour. He deserves a little fun as a single child for one last time. :)
The only things that really needed to get done was to pick up a special pre-ordered Sesame Street birthday cake and about a dozen bright colored helium balloons to mark where Grandma and Grandpas house is. Their house isn't really that hard to find. But it can get confusing up in the hills where they live. I wanted it to be as easy as possible for guests to find.
The party was really simple. No games or anything scheduled like that. For any 1-2 year olds that came I knew that a schedule would actually cause more harm than good. Any of you with kids around that age know what I am talking about. You just go with the flow! ;)
We had some toys out for them to play with. Some yummy healthy(and not-so-healthy) snacks, drinks(juice boxes for the kiddos) and the cake were all provided.
I did make up some party favors for any kiddos that were able to come. It was all pretty easy. I had a lot of help from my MIL and mom. They paid for a bunch of the decorations, food and favors. I am so grateful for them.
We all had a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure that my 2-year old did too!
Boy that's gonna take some getting use to!--2-year old---
I have included pics down below this time!
Thanks for reading as always. Now that Josiah's birthday is done we are pressing for this little girl to come! Any day now!
