She's 'tutu' much fun!

I am happy to say that M2's 2nd birthday party was a success! She was as adorable as ever, and the cupcakes were delightful...among other things. ;) The theme for the party was 'two two cute', so there was plenty of tulle to go around! I made tutu centerpieces for the tables with some help from my amazingly talented grandma - thanks, Joey! Now if I was as talented as her, I could make and do just about anything, which would come in handy for when I become an event planner!

I think one of my first ideas was to put a tutu around the cake stand...and BOY, was it cute!

Just precious!

Sisters like parties too.

The cupcakes were just as yummy as they look!

She got a little spoiled...but how can you resist?!

We feel truly blessed to be able to celebrate her birthday with our families and friends. Unfortunately, the cold/sick season meant that some of our friends couldn't be there...silly February birthdays anyway! M1 was home most of the week with a fever, so the party was in limbo for a while. I'm glad everything worked out! If you recall, her bday bash was postponed last year because of RSV. It's a sad day for a party planner to do all the work and have to reschedule! :)

Her actual birthday was the day before the party, and we tried to make it special! I had the day off, so we celebrated ALL day! You only turn 2 once, ya know! We started the day with birthday muffins after a little present for the birthday girl...

She wasn't real sure what the candles were all about. :)

So we tried again at lunch...candles in the apples. This time she gave it a little effort.

God has truly blessed us! We are so thankful to have M2 around, and we hope we get to spend many, many, many... more birthdays with her.
