Before I show the
enormous amount of pictures of Madeline's 2nd Birthday party, I want to explain a few things.
Many people have been hearing for weeks now the amount of effort I have put forth for this birthday. I began to get more involved after I found out Will would be here for her birthday.
After all the things I made went up, it didn't look as crazy as I had thought it would. Also, most of the items came from the dollar store. Time was the culprit in the planning of this party.
When you saw the look of her face as well as the people who came through the door, it was well worth every minute!
So far there have been three Minnie Mouse cards given to Madeline and three of which were the same exact card. Hee hee. :)
Don't say I didn't warn you about the pictures.
DECORATIONS:
 |
| Told ya you were invited. |
REACTION:
ACTIVITES:
 |
| Madeline absolutely loves balloons still. |
 |
| Josh humored us. |
 |
| Ornament time. |
 |
| I made ears for the kids. |
 |
| First time she blew her own bubbles. Awww. |
 |
| Josh loved Madeline giving him bubble wand taps. |
 |
| Minnie pinata made by me. |
 |
| Madeline's huge swing (tap) at Minnie. |
 |
| Our friend, Chantal, helped Madeline while mommy was taking pictures. |
 |
| Josh was the last and he finished smacking it open. |
 |
| Will couldn't stop laughing because the sticks were a wee bit too large for the kids and honestly, put everyone around in danger. |
 |
| Kids decorated Minnie bow cookies. |
 |
| Our friend, Sara, helped Madeline with hers. |
 |
| Perfection. |
THE CUPCAKES:
 |
| Yum Yum! |
 |
| I am thankful I warned everyone how Madeline would most likely cry when we began to sing. I think we stopped at the first, "to youuuu." |
 |
| Trying to focus on the sweets! |
 |
| Completely focused. |
 |
| Not too bad for a baby girl who was sick during the entire party. |
PRESENT TIME:
 |
| Her birthday kitchen was a huge success! |
 |
| It cracks me up how the name of the game was how close can you get to Madeline opening presents. |
 |
| Ha ha, do you see Tori getting super close behind her? :) |
 |
| I had a different kid in my lap almost every other gift. |
A special thank you goes to my sister, Wendi, who willingly agreed to take pictures throughout the party! :)
Next on the agenda...celebrating Madeline's real birthday on Thanksgiving with just the three of us, Madeline's 24 month wellness baby checkup, and the dreaded deployment. :(
