My not-so-baby boy is now 2! And to celebrate we've had more than a week's worth of parties! Besides having a party in GI with family and a party at school with his classmates; we had a party here in BR with our friends on his birthday. It was a farm-themed party because Trace LOVES animals and for awhile Baby Einstein's "On The Farm" was the only thing he'd ever watch. So of course we went all out on our baby's birthday with the help of a few friends. Jenny worked her magic with the invite! I love how they turned out:
Farmer Matt brought over his goat, Heidi, and several baby chicks for the kids to pet. This was a huge hit! Most of the kids didn't even notice the kiddie pool, swings, or the jumpy because they were too busy playing with the animals!
Dad BBQ'd burgers & hot dogs & we had lots of other fun foods to munch on, like "Hay", "Chicken Feed", and Animals in a "Mud Pitt". :) Oh, and don't forget Trace's Vegetable Garden!
The little ones played games soon after we ate, starting with a Pig Pinata and then Pin the Tail on the Cow!
Now it's time for Cake! I won't lie, I did put in a lot of time on this cake and I'm glad I did. I was pleased with the way it came out. And it was so fun for each kid to pick out their very own animal. They all loved it! Trace ate all the icing off his and then it was off to ice cream, his favorite!
Next, we were on to presents! I promise, we didn't have a single thing from us for him to open because his birthday from us was his bedding, and the grandparents had already flooded him with gifts the week before, but he still managed to have a pile of presents to open! This kid is truly blessed and loved.
By the time we were finished presents, most people had trickled out; but we still had time for some after party fun! We took silly pics and played in the pool to cool off. Trace did the traditional "poop in the pool". So we hosed him off and he got to run around naked in the backyard...what a way to end the day! Happy Birthday, Sweet Boy...We love you!
