Birthday Celebration

Today we celebrated Emersyn and Jaxson's 2nd birthday! I just don't know what to think about this because it seems like we celebrated their very first birthday not so long ago. Anyways, I went with a very simple zoo/animal print theme. There were many other ideas and decorations I had bought supplies for, but in the end, of course I had neither the time nor energy for everything that was bouncing around in my mind!


Invites...


Party outfits I made them with onesies and felt from Hobby Lobby. I just cut out the 2s and attached with fabric glue. Doesn't get much easier than that!


So we had a little family cookout and pool party beginning at about 5pm. All week long it looked like thunderstorms were going to be in the forecast, but luckily they held off. I made cupcakes for our dessert.






Trying to get some cute shots of the birthday kids before their outfits were ruined. :)








We borrowed a little bounce house from someone Kris works with and set it up out front for the cousins to play in.










Tae-o trying to blow up one of those punching ballons...




These pictures are kinda icky, but I'm posting them anyways. My birthday babes and I! Oh, and yes, I'm wearing a dress! Write this date down in history because it doesn't happen often.




Singing time! I wouldn't be surprised if this was the highlight of the evening for both Em and Jax. They've been singing the whole "Happy Birthday" song to themselves for at least a month now. They love watching our family movie of their first birthday from last year also.










Some swimming to end the evening...



And now we've officially entered those Terrible Twos (x2). Ah, we know the 3s are worse, so maybe this year won't be so bad. :)

Thanks to all family members who came to celebrate, contributed food, and gifted our little ones with some awesome presents. They (and we) are very lucky to have you in their lives!
