Elsie Anne's friend, Carter, was the first to arrive! This is not that great of a picture, but I wanted to show the Birthday Girl's rockin' outfit!! She is in love with her new "cowgirl booooots!" from Target Clearance rack - you can't beat $7 boots!
We had my super talented friend, Fara, make the 'Hello Kitty' cake & GeeGee made the cupcakes:) This is about half of EA's friends that came - the rest were sledding! Oh, EA blew her candles out at the perfect timing & with no hassle!!
Our friend, Emily, who does all our professional pictures (including our wedding) was at the party snapping away! I hired her last year for EA's birthday & felt so relaxed knowing I didn't have to document the party, so I had to have that security again:) I snapped a few so I could BLOG!!
An exhausted EA showing her
three TWO fingers!!
Godzilla Bubble Blower was a hit outside w/ the Dads!!
I wasn't really planning on opening gifts, but EA's big-kid friends insisted!! Elsie Anne did a fabulous job, and hugged & thanked her friends after every gift!! Not sure where she ran off to in this pic?
Friends said good-bye & EA was spent!! She fell asleep right as Daddy put her in the carseat!
Once Carter Park Pavillion was cleaned up, we went straight to 'Northside Pizza' for some beers, college basket ball games, & early dinner:) Shawn & his Momma - perfect lighting!!
I was getting some Birthday Girl cuddles! Not quite sure what this silly face is all about - probably Daddy said smile & she did the opposite - EA's a real jokester like that!! As I got my 'love' from the perfect Angel that she is, I was thinking of the birthday party, all our wonderful friends, the great kiddy moments I witnessed, & thought how truly blessed we are! I loved every minute of our day - stressful times & all!!
We are having a hard time believing this day has come & gone, and now we have a 2 YEAR OLD?! It's the one thing that everyone tells you & is SO TRUE... "Soak it all in, because it goes by so fast!"
