2nd birthday

april 19th, 2012

I really wanted to make Reesers actual birthday an fun day from start to finish since we weren't having her party until the next day. As I'm sure everyone knows our little Reese LOVES balloons :) so I got her the biggest one I could find for when she woke up in the morning. I also copied our friends and hung balloons from her door! She was a little scared of these at first (and even crawled as low as she could to get out of her room at first haha) but quickly she realized how fun it was to run through them and hit them as hard as she could! I had little powdered donuts with candles ready for her too when she woke up. We did sing happy birthday at least 300 times that day and blew out the candles over and over. She's a pro at it now. :) 

Her best friends here  - Sam and Addy - came over to play that morning. We ate fruit snacks, read all the new mickey books from Sam about 20 times, colored a lot, played outside, blew bubbles, watched Cars in mommy's bed after she refused to take a nap {she was crying for the balloons from her crib haha}, ate a sucker when daddy got home, and then went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner! I think maybe I was more excited about a Chuck E Cheese birthday than she was haha I just thought it was so cute! The Snyders joined us for pizza and silly games. Reese was definitely more interested in carrying her "pennies" (aka tokens) around in the little cup and would just put them in random games and not even watch or play the game ha. She did like the pizza and the little stage that the 7 year olds were singing on :) and then they played a three minute clip of veggie tales and that was just about all it took to get her excited! ha. It was too cute to watch her and Sam chase each other around. too hard to get a picture of them in action. they're just the sweetest little friends.

 oh she did LOVE LOVE this game with the frog and you have to get all the balls in his mouth for him to eat them. She thought it was sooo hilarious. played it probably six times :)

what a fun day celebrating our little punkin!

proof it was an awesome day:
