Cake: Made with love by Gramma K.! (Thank you mama!)

Birthday shirt:  Made by fellow nestie BP~ loved it!

The highlights:  An 8 hour birthday party with family and friends... what more could you ask for?! Watching peanut eat the equivalent of an entire bag of candy corn MnMs, watching peanut play with her friends and act like a 'big' kid, watching peanut give love and smoochies to her family and friends.

The unmentionables:  Peanut was so not interested in sitting for her cake, nor opening any presents after the first one. But hey, that's toddler life, right?

The weather was a perfect sunny and 70 degrees... we got out the chalk and bubbles and made magic.  Everyone talked and laughed and ate and ate and laughed and talked... it was just as I had imagined it.

A HUGE thank you to all our family and friends for helping us celebrate peanut's 2nd birthday!  We appreciate the love! xo
