Birthday Party Deets

Cannot not believe that Jessica Kathryn is turning TWO tomorrow!!!

Her party was a huge success.

She wanted a "Mermaid" party

So we had an Under the Sea/Mermaid shin dig, invited all her preschool friends, and Mommy went a little over the top. Of all birthdays to not make a big deal out of, #2 would be it. She would have been just as happy with a party hat and family only. But I'm having Baby #2 guilt and wanted to make sure it was just perfect.

Made a Sand Castle cake, then 2 types of cupcakes decorated blue and green to look like the ocean. The kids ate these, so they didnt' have to wait for the cake to be cut (plus, it was too small of a cake for how big of a party we had!)

Daddy found some Mermaid to stick on the wall. And Nana made Jessica that amazing "Mermaid/Princess" dress. Love it!

Mommy got her special shoes and a crown, but the crown was a little big, so she made Mommy wear it ;)

Total performance anxiety- would not blow out the candles! So Mommy had to help.........

She choose a Blue cupcake. My personal fave- banana bread cupcakes w/cream cheese frosting. Delicious!

Unwrapping the presents was a little insane. Total two year old chaos. My favorite shot of Jessica looking at one of her presents- a princess book- and all of her "helpers"

And of course, her after party outfit. Wooooooooo hooooo!!!

Yep, it was a party to remember. It didn't matter that it was a crazy rainy day (even HAILED!!!!). We decorated crowns with seashells, had a ball pin/house, big blocks set up to play with, all sorts of yummy treats, and pizza from Roccos for lunch. She's a princess, and I cannot believe she is two!!!!
