Olivia's 2nd Birthday Party

I made pink strawberry cupcakes with pink sprinkles and Grandma Nancy bought her a very pretty pink princess cake. Olivia loves pink!

Friends and cousins.

She got a lot of really nice gifts from everyone. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Powder

Olivia got into the powder.

I didn't mean for her to start crying. I just startled her and scared her a little when I screamed upon discovering her mess. I was making dinner and she was in her room playing, so when I found this mess it caught me off guard, but it was actually pretty funny. The trail started in her room where powder covered her baby dolls, books, and chairs. Then it made it's way down the stairs and to the chair and herself.

So sad!

Baby Shower

My sister-in law has three adorable little boys and is preggers with baby #4 and hooray, it's a girl, so we all decided to throw her a surprise baby shower. It wasn't easy though. We had to make up lies about Sensie parties and what everyone was doing on that day, and poor Jennie felt like she was being left out of every conversation, only because we didn't want her to find out.

Jennie's face was priceless when we opened the door and everyone yelled surprise. I'm so glad I got it on camera. She really had no idea.

We had a great turn out. Most of the women from the family came to the party. Grandma's and aunts and cousins. It was a lot of fun and we had a ton of yummy food.

A new baby swing.

Pink clothes are so fun!

All of the sister-in-laws. Kaylee made the diaper cake, isn't it soo cute!

Happy New Year!!!

We spent New Year's eve with cousin's and friends. We have spent nearly every New Year's with this same family. They are always so good to let us bum around with them and eat and eat and eat. We had a lot of fun. 

The food!

The city had a firework show at 10:00pm for the kids. We all ran outside yelling Happy New Year and did some of our own party poppers in the street.

Watching the fireworks.

Livy really didn't like the show. She kept saying it was cawy (scary).

Olivia's melt down.

Party

This game was pretty cute. There is a gift wrapped  like 15 times and everyone tries to unwrap it using butter knives and wearing big gloves, while blindfolded. The kids loved watching the adults try and try and try.

Mason having a turn.

The kids finally getting to the actual gift, a giant Symphany candy bar!

We ended up leaving the party around 11:30pm because our kids were totally exhausted. Olivia's usually in bed by 7:30pm and at one point during a game she laid down on the floor in the middle of everyone and started screaming with her face buried in the carpet.

Olivia fell asleep with her glow stick in her mouth. She was asleep within 2 or 3 minutes, and all three of them were out by the time we drove the ten minutes back to our house.
