Our little girl is TWO! My oh my how time flies when you have kids! I remember my dad telling me when I was pregnant that once I have the baby time will just fly by. He was right (he was right about most things). I love this age (we could do without the occasional tantrum, though). I will write more in detail what Maddie is up to these days in another post-for now I will stick to the party.
On Maddie’s actual birthday we spent getting ready for her party the next day. We shopped for nearly two hours at Wal-Mart, so needless to say, by the time we got to the counter to check out, we had opened up various packages to keep her entertained and FULL. We decided to keep it a little smaller than last year’s party and it was perfect. The theme this year was Curious George and it turned out so cute. Maddie has always had a love for monkeys and she goes crazy for Curious George these days. Her Daddy and I made a George cake. I searched pinterest for ideas and came across this. It was much simpler than we thought and the cake turned out great! I made dipped marshmallow pops again and just used lots of red, blue, and yellow to stick with the theme. Maddie wore a bright yellow shirt with George and balloons hanging from the number 2. I found the iron on transfer on Ebay and bought the shirt at Hobby Lobby for super cheap. Party Junction here in Greenville had Curious George party supplies so I was able to pick up the plates, napkins, and balloons from there.
For food, we had spicy ham biscuits, pasta salad, buffalo chicken dip, a fruit platter, Monkey Munch, and chewy banana oatmeal cookies. Everything turned out great!
Maddie was showered with lots of gifts on her big day. She got some beautiful clothes from Omi, Mimi, and Aunt Natalie that I can’t wait for her to wear this spring and summer. I think her favorites this year by far are her new princess tent, doll stroller, and her new ride on tractor from Aunt Teresa.
Maddie is one blessed baby big girl! Happy Birthday Maddie Moo! We love you so much!
