2nd birthday party

A month later, but here they are...finally. Adelaide had a great 2nd birthady party at home this year. We were joined by friends and family and I loved that this year we had kids that were close to her age and that Adelaide really got involved in the whole party. Of course in true sassy style, she was 30 minutes late to her own party. I wanted to make sure that she had a nap before everyone got there and apparently she was a little more tired than I thought because she was out for awhile. Good thing because there was partying to do inside, outside and even after the party.


Adelaide with her Gramps, Ya Ya wasn't able to make it this year due to work. So while we were in Fleming Island, she was in Asia shopping for Tootie. Thank goodness Gramps was there, if not we would have had some hungry people.

GG and Pap were a HUGE help with the party, couldn't have done it without them.


Why is it that a family photo seems to always be the after thought?!

Yay, a "bebe" in a shopping cart.

This is Adelaide unsure as to what to do since her friend Lea was sitting in her special present opening seat.



This kid is so crazy, she wasn't interested in cake unless it was off of someone elses plate.

Colin was helping open presents.

Ricardo, I think we need to play with my butterfly wand.





This is Melissa teaching Grant the fine of art of bubble blowing.



That's funny, how is it that little Anna has two plates in this picture and looking as guilty as ever?

We needed a third party to decide on these balloons, I said YES and Grant said NO. Thanks for the winning vote Pap!


Jason was the honored lunch table monitor for the afternoon.



Notice Grant trying to get some height on his dad.


Not even all of her loot, the kid is spoiled.





Colin and A playing with some of the favors, bug gardening tools and wind up bugs to be caught with their bug catchers.





That's right folks, these cupcakes and cakes are homemade. Second year in a row of making Adelaide's birthday cake. The cakes may not be the most elaborate cakes to be found at a party, but I think there is something special about taking the time to make it at home versus going to Publix. With that being said next year will inevitably be a store bought cake.
