Emma's Second Birthday Party

Though Emma’s second birthday is not actually for another week, we celebrated yesterday with some of our family and friends. The theme was Candyland. Knowing that we would be busy with a new baby, Emma and I have been planning this party since the first week of January! Emma was excited when she woke up from her nap and it was finally her birthday! She was in awe of all the decorations and had a great time. We cannot believe that she is already two years old!

Some photos of the decorations and all of the guests…..


Apparently Audrey did not find the party to interesting. She slept the entire time! Probably because she was up the ENTIRE night before :)

Opening presents…..

When everyone was singing happy birthday to her, Emma was all smiles! It was so cute! She was just looking around the room at everyone taking it all in and smiling! Adam and I were going to bed last night talking about the party and I was mentioning how excited she was during the happy birthday singing and Adam said “I know she was so sweet and so happy it almost made me cry!” (He was in charge of the photos at this time so I guess this is why we only have two that are not so good! Oh well at least he had a special daddy moment!) Parties can be tons of work and preparation but when you see how excited your child is it makes it all worth it!

Emma wanted to let all of the balloons go outside after the party was over. I was very thankful because I am not one to keep junk like that around though I know it would be very entertaining for Emma.

It was a great day of celebrating that led to two tired kids and two exhausted parents! Happy Birthday Emma! We love you!
