Elizabeth: The Big Two Year Old!

12/28/2013

BEAN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY

Yesterday, my baby turned 2! I really feel like I just had her. It feels so odd to say I have a 2 year old. 

We celebrated at our new home here on Camano. My sister-in-law, Joana and Mother-in-law, Diane picked up some Bubble Guppies party supplies before Christmas so we were able to have a bit of a theme! 

I really wanted to do more for her but after Christmas, Frank and I are pretty broke.
We had some streamers from last year we hung up and had some balloons. After hanging the balloons Elizabeth decided she hated them. She refused to go into any room that had any and was pretty terrified of them! I was surprised as she points them out everywhere we go! I thought she'd enjoy them; apparently not. So we took them all down. 

I was scared of balloons as a child too...

I also made some Bubble Guppies invites on the computer and printed them off to send out. 

I'm a little irritated and may not do invites next year as NO ONE EVER RSVP'S! I ended up having to call/text anyone who I thought may come. Some family members ( who shall remain anonymous) didn't even bother to give me an answer and never showed.  I get it. It's a 2 year old birthday, probably not the most exciting thing in the world but a simple "No, I won't be coming" really helps. HINT HINT. 

Regardless of certain people not showing, Elizabeth really had a great time. Her BFF showed up, most of her family, she had ice cream cake and pizza. She enjoyed herself and that's what it was all about! 

Not to mention she got a ridiculous amount of presents.

Also, 90% of every thing she got this year had Hello Kitty on it. My home now looks like a shrine to the pink bowed kitty.

Bean's BFF, Ollie! 15 Months old.
