Happy 2nd Birthday!

Our sweet baby girl turned two years old today!! I'll do another post next week (after her check-up) with all her stats, etc. But this post is all about her party!! Chris left work early and we met up with all Red's friends at a local inflatables playhouse called Loco-Motion. Everyone had such a fantastic time...the pictures speak for themselves!

Lots of inflatable bouncy houses to play on, climb on, and slide on!


Delilah and Lila playing air hockey. Too cute!!


There were also all these little rooms set up as a miniature village, with a grocery store, animal hospital, theatre, etc. The kids loved playing in them.

For party favors, we let each kid choose a plush animal that they got to help stuff at the stuffing station. The girls were all choosing the pink bear, the poodle, the fluffy bunny. Not Delilah. She looked at the wall of choices and distinctly said, "Green! Green di-no-sauh!" I love her!
Then it was pizza and cupcake time! Since Red is SLIGHTLY obsessed with Elmo, I took it upon myself to craft some Elmo cupcakes. I think they turned out pretty well, especially since every single kid immediately recognized who it was supposed to be! :)


Red frosting (pricked with a fork to look more like fur), white candy melt eyes, mini brown m&m pupils, orange Reese's Pieces nose, and half-Oreo mouths.
When everyone started singing Happy Birthday, Delilah got SO HAPPY. Her little face lit up and she kept looking around at everyone, so giddy and almost unable to believe that she was the center of so much attention. Her reaction completely melted mine and Chris's hearts.
All the kiddos enjoying the food

Such a happy birthday girl

Good night
