birthday party #2!

we had birthday party #2 down south, with all of my family on sunday, the 19th.  we originally had planned to only have this party, but decided to have the small one for friends and family that we live close to.  i hate to admit it, but this one was even better than birthday party #1, mainly because we had it inside, and it was so hot!  because it was inside, we didn't have the wind blowing everything over, and people were able to just sit around the house and visit with each other comfortably.

warning, this will be a long post with tons of photos.

we used all of the same decorations...

the kids had their goody bags...

and of course, the cake was the main event...

is it not the cutest thing ever??? it was yellow (ben's fave) cake, and chocolate (my fave) cake.  my cousin, michelle, made it... (please pardon the fact that she's wearing a TSUN shirt.)

and peanut's cake was white cake...

here she is when she woke up from her nap and saw all of the decorations!

we had gift overload here...

and peanut actually got into "opening" her gifts!

she is now officially a farm girl...

happy birthday to you!

we pulled the fondant off for her...

i don't think it mattered... ha!

a few of the guests...

thank you to everyone that came to celebrate with us!  

and a very special thanks to aunt darlenia for opening up her home for us!  :)
