A Cat in the Hat Birthday...

As promised, birthday party pictures! My baby toddler boy turned two! So sad to not call him my baby anymore, I guess he will always be my baby though... Anywhooooo back to the party. We went with a Cat in the Hat theme for his birthday, it seems to be his favorite character lately and he loooves books. I used red and teal for colors and polka dots and stripes for the pattern. I focused on just cat in the hat instead of all things Dr. Seuss. For food I kept it simple with hot dogs, baggies of chips, & fruit snacks for the kiddos. We had a dessert table with a super cute cake that my friend made. (Sidenote on her: She made his cake last year as well, she is really talented and just recently discovered how good she is at decorating cakes! In addition to her wonderful cake abilities, she is one of my best friends, and blogs over at this great place, go check it out!) Also on the dessert table were red swirl lollipops, red and blue rice krispie treats, pixie stix!, and marshmallow pops. The kids all received goodie bags upon arrival filled with toys and things to play with at the party. At everyone's departure they received a tube of mini M&M's which I wrapped with a little saying "Don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happend." Some of the other things I did: Happy Birthday banner, flower napkin poms, and paper circle garland. My wonderful husband is my photographer, he got some really great shots of the pre party but once everything started we were so busy we really didn't get too much more. Oh well, we had a great day though! Luke had so much fun playing with his cousins and he seriously loved all the gifts he got. The one thing I'm bummed about is I bought him a Cat in the Hat hat and he didn't wear it at all! Okay, enough chit chat, here are the pictures...

As you can see we too much fun playing! But that's what it was all about. Be back soon with a semi serious post this week.
Much love, Angela
