Emma's Second Birthday Party

Emma has been so excited for her birthday party for a month now. We got an oriental trading magazine in the mail with party themes. Olivia flipped through it asking Emma, "do you want a fire truck party?" "a mermaid party?" and when she hit on the unicorn page Emma freaked and said "Party!!" So from then on, the unicorn theme was born.

Just like Olivia's second birthday, it was pouring down rain. So we had to improvise and have activities in the garage. We filled the water table with rice - assuming it would get every where. Before anyone had gotten here, Dan came out to find both girls IN the rice table. We had a mess and the party hadn't started. :)

The lighting in these pictures are awful, but I just don't have the energy to edit them all. We had make your own gummy necklaces, which were a big hit - even with the boys. 

We had 'decorate your own t-shirts' which was a hit with the bigger kids. I'm sure the parents are not going to be thrilled when they want to wear them to school or church. But they had fun coloring all over their shirts.

Mimosas - obviously.

As party favors, we had two of Emma's favorite things to celebrate her turning two. A lollipop and a lipgloss ring. We are big fans of lipstick and lipgloss around here. I'm sure the boys were thrilled to get that. 

Couldn't get the birthday girl to stand still, but got her big sister with her tutu and unicorn shirt. 

It was so much fun celebrating Emma. She just loved the attention when everyone was singing happy birthday to her. But she tried to hide it behind a shy smile. Happy birthday sweet girl!
