Minnie Birthday Party!


For Emery's 2nd birthday she had a MINNIE MOUSE PARTY!
This one was so much fun to plan.  From the balloons, to the cupcakes to her cute little Minnie ears…I think we should have a Minnie party every year! 

The Details~


 The balloons were perfect.  Including this 3ft Minnie!  I'm sad this is the only picture we got of her but it was so windy we were just trying to keep her at the party!



Of course I have Pinterest to thank for these cute Minnie ears.  They were a big hit (even with the adults!)



I made these picture cubes for the tables as take home gifts for the grandmas where I displayed pictures of Emery from her first two years.  And the Minnie cupcakes were homemade chocolate with homemade cream cheese frosting.


And the banner!  I made this about a month before the party and had it hanging in our living room.  Yes, I do realize the 'h' in birthday is missing (taken by the wind!).  For a closer look check this out.

Our Guests~

The Birthday Girl and Daddy!


Emery's friend Brooklynn…she came in full Minnie wear!

Her shirt had a large "2" with a Minnie mouse and her name.

 The End~





Emery had such a wonderful 2nd birthday!  Despite being sick the week before she was a trooper for her Minnie Mouse Party!  I couldn't help myself with these last pictures.  After everyone had left she ran around with her balloons saying "Happy day!!"  And that it was!

Valentine's Day love

I'm sad that the day has come and gone.  I love all of the pink and red and girly things that surround us in the month of February.  Flowers, chocolates, stuffed animals and just being spoiled on Valentine's Day!  This is some of the love we shared this Valentine's Day…

The hubby woke up to this…a little surprise from me! :)  I did the girls doors too, but they had there's down and were playing with them before I could snap pictures.


Breakfast and school lunch making...



 Two year well check!  (still can't believe it!)


And my after work surprise!


He knows me best! Chocolate and peeps (I'm so glad they make them for almost every holiday now!!)


We hope you all had a wonderful day and were spoiled like us!
