Emily’s Minnie Mouse 2nd Birthday Party

 

Hey guys!

Do not adjust your computer screens!

Yes I did just post twice in two days!!!!  Holy bananas!!!!!

Well ya’ll know I just couldn’t wait to share with you my sweet baby girl’s 2nd birthday party!!!!

I had so much fun planning this party!  Although I have to admit, I was pretty stressed out about the whole thing.  That whole “full time job” thing will really put a damper in your party planning ventures!

Anyway, when Em voted for a Minnie Mouse party over pink ruffles & roses, my heart nearly shattered into a million pieces.  I mean…..Minnie Mouse is cute and all, but I’m not a huge fan of character parties.

So what’s a girl to do?  Well, I started planning a non-character character party!  And here’s how it turned out.  Are you ready for picture overload!?!? 

Good!

Like I mentioned in my last post, Lauren from Simply Inspired Mama is amazing and she took all of the gorgeous pictures!

I started by creating an invitation that would set the tone for the party.  Still TONS of pink, polka dots, and a little Minnie here & there!

Despite being a little under the weather and having a fever the night before her party, Emily had a BLAST!

And Heaven forbid…..I touched her cupcake!

What a little diva!  It literally was just a little itty bitty scoop of frosting!

All in all we had a blast and it was worth all the stressing! 

And might I add…..my house still hasn’t recovered from the party!  I better get it together before Thanksgiving so I can bring in all the Christmas stuff!!! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed my baby girl’s birthday party!

Emily’s 2nd Birthday Photo Shoot

 

Hi sweet friends!!!  Long time no talk!  I’m still alive!!  Waahoooo!

I just got the pictures back from Emily’s 2nd birthday party and got SO EXCITED!  Lauren from Simply Inspired Mama was amazing enough to shoot Emily a few weeks before her birthday and also at her birthday party!

Since I just got the party pictures back today (and was beyond stoked), I immediately wanted to do a blog post showing them off! 

But then I remembered I never did a post showing her country/woodsy/shabby chic photo shoot she did a few weeks before the party!  So let me back track a little and show you the AMAZING pictures Lauren took!

This one is by far my favorite!  I used it on Emily’s 2nd birthday party invitations!

Then Lauren gave her a lollipop to keep her “calm” and sitting!  And it was pink so it ended up being a super cute prop!

Then we switched from “birthday” mode to just fun/girly/2 year old mode!

And of course we had to try to get some family shots!

It was so much fun shooting with Lauren!  She is a blast!  If you’re local and looking for a great photographer….give her a shout!
