Brown Eyed Girl Meets a Blue Eyed Boy: a cupcake party

On Saturday we had Lily's 2nd birthday party - a cupcake theme - at our house. We had lots of fun decorating in pink and purple and planning fun little activities for the kiddos. I LOVE party planning and would definitely do it for a living if I could. Until then, I'll enjoy planning my kids parties and helping friends when asked :)

We had hoped to be outside but it was a really windy day so we moved things indoors and in the garage. That didn't stop the kiddos from having plenty of fun though. They enjoyed bubbles and chalk, a game of pin the cupcake on the sprinkle, breaking a cupcake pinata, and topping their own cupcakes at our cupcake station.

For food we munched on sub sandwiches, buffalo chicken dip, fruit arrangements from Edible Arrangements - so cute!, meat cheese and crackers, and pasta salad. And for dessert I made chocolate, strawberry and vanilla cupcakes, we had sugar cookies from Main Street Sweets in Cedar Falls - yummy!, and various pink and purple candies. I think we saw Lily sneak at least 20 fruitie tootsie rolls from the dessert table! :)

We kept the party small this year only inviting family and a few close friends in the area. Kiddos and families that were there for her party were; Grandma and Grandpa Davis, Nick, Kristle, Devin, and Eden Davis, Clint, Jacinda, and Paisley Schipper, Grandma and Grandpa Grover, Jalissa Grover, Jena Grover, Lauren Page, the DeMaris Family - Ty, Katie, and Harper, and the Poutre Family - Ben, Tamara, Tristan, Cayden, and Camren.

It was a fun fun party that I really enjoyed planning and enjoyed seeing the kiddos enjoy even more. Lily talked about her party for days before and still is talking about the pinata breaking, her friends coming, and eating cupcakes!
