Brynlee's 2nd birthday- November 4th, 2012

We had Brynlee's 2nd birthday party on Saturday, November 3rd.  The Miller's were generous enough to let us use their backyard again.  The weather was perfect, just like last year.  What's funny is the next weekend was very rainy, just like last year also.  So it's a good thing she was born at the beginning of the month. 

We did a Sesame Street theme this year, even though she started telling me a few months before her birthday that she liked Barney better.  I tried to find Barney stuff but couldn't.

We kept the party simple with just cupcakes, ice cream, and cookies. 

However, John and I came down with Strep throat the weekend before.  I got some antibiotics for Brynlee but she refused to take them and she was fine the next day so I didn't worry about it.  But by Saturday you could tell she didn't feel good at all.  Little did we know she would be up all night after her party and require another trip to Instacare, plus an antibiotic shot, and Tylenol suppositories.

We found these cupcake toppers online and you could personalize them.  Elmo and Abby are her favorite Sesame Street characters.  They were super cute but the directions weren't very accurate.  It said to put the toppers on and it only takes a few minutes to combine with the frosting.  But it was basically like eating paper off the cupcakes.  It didn't taste bad, just weird.  The next day the leftover cupcakes tasted much better because the topper completely combined with the frosting, so it wasn't like eating paper.

John made this awesome Elmo pinata.  All the kids took turns hitting it.

This was her big birthday present from mom and dad- a baby doll that laughs and cries and drinks a bottle.  She sure loved feeding her baby a bottle.

Opening presents.  She sure got spoiled by both sets of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins!

 



 

My Dad's tradition is to put this sign out in front of our house on our birthday.
