some say i go a little overboard. i say it was to keep me from being overly bored! lily loves the very hungry caterpillar by eric carle, so that was the inspiration for her big birthday bash.
...
last year i made a "1" for lily's pictures and loved it so much i thought i'd do it again.
the party hat, an essential. one of lily's favorite books talks about a party hat, and she was so excited to have one of her own!
favors...i made coloring books and crayon holders for each of the kidlets.
for the cake i made a bundt cake, cut it in half, and cut one of the halves in half again. then out of a 6" round cake i cut the head and the last section on the end. buz and i had lots of fun experimenting with the frosting, it turned out a little interesting, but i loved it!
we started out with my mom, a 2nd grade teacher, reading the story to the kids. she did such a great job, thanks mom!
we did a bean bag toss and had a coloring table, but we forgot to take pictures of that. (thanks to tabitha for taking pictures, without her we wouldn't have any!) then lily opened presents and the kids were all so anxious to help open, of course! i think at one point i ended up under the table as they were inching closer and closer...
lily (buz) did such a good job blowing out her candles, and she actually liked wearing her party hat. success!!
my mom gets all the grandkids a rocking chair/horse for their 2nd birthdays. lily was in heaven, and loves to rock her babies and bunny in her chair. thanks!
we went to the doctor today, and lily weighs a whopping 22.8 lbs clothed. she's made it up into the 7th percentile, which is higher than she's ever been! she's also in the 12th percentile for her height, so the doctor is quite proud of how well proportioned she is. she's our little munchkin, as we've always known, but she's healthy and happy and we're so blessed to be her parents. happy birthday beans!

Such a cute party for an adorable girl! Love all the caterpillar stuff...I don't think you overdid at all! I can't believe she's two.
Oh, and on a side note I just got back from P's 9 mo appointment and he weighed the exact same as Lily. He's a fatty!

So sorry we missed her big day (again!) but I'm glad our boys could go, thanks to Grammy! On a side not, I can't believe she let you tag along to Build-A-Bear...you must be special:)
The party looked darling...The green frosting on the cake was too cool! Lily's dress is darling.
