More Birthday Stuff

I wanted to post some more pictures of Addy's birthday celebration. It was a lot of fun to plan/execute. Somewhat stressful, but really fun. My problem is that I always tell myself that I'm going to keep things simple and then I don't do it! Why should I get stressed out planning a birthday party for a 2 year old, I don't know? Anyhow, here are A LOT of pictures to show more of the details from Addy's big day...

Here's daddy measuring how tall she is on the morning of her birthday

Once the guests arrived Addy went from excited to shy. She sat in Ryan's lap for quite awhile before she finally decided to play with her friends.

The birthday wall

The food that the girls ate

The food that the adults ate

The girls playing before we ate (thanks for these pics. Christina!)

I thought this was a funny picture of Addy and Isabelle

The guests...

Little Miss Hallie, doesn't she look so cute in her polka-dotted dress?

And Isabelle looking pretty in pink

The little ladies enjoying some tea. I might add that Ryan's mom made the beautiful quilt that they are sitting on

The girls looking totally enthralled by my story telling skills (or not!)

If you were wondering what the dads were doing the whole time, mostly this. Hanging out inside and doing some manly bonding, watching a game

Addy did not enjoy having "Happy Birthday to You" sung to her. She does not like being the center of attention!

She gets embarrassed...

and then proceeds to hide from everyone. I love that all you can see in this picture is a little bit of her shoe and her head!

But then she realized she got to eat the cupcake with the candles in it and all was well!

She chowed down...

and ended up with chocolate on her face, hands and dress!

Hallie enjoying a cupcake with a very ladylike posture. It was my first time making mini cupcakes and I wish I would have gotten a picture. They were cute little things!

THE END
