Water Table and Owen's 4th Birthday!

Lucy woke up Sunday morning asking to go play with her water table and bubbles, so right after breakfast we headed out to the patio to do just that...in our pj's.

 Thanks Grammie and Papa, the water table was a big hit!

 Waving hi to her Carlos mowing the grass.

Then, we got all cleaned up to go to Owen's 4th birthday party.
 Ahhh, how lucky am I that this sweet girl is mine!?!  I mean really, so in love with her.

 This is actually Steph's front door (Owen's Mommy), isn't it gorgeous!  They have such a neat house!

 Steph and Lucy

 We headed out to their back patio and played with balloons, a limbo stick and the cutest little elephant game that blows out butterflies that the kids catch with nets.  Lucy LOVED that game!

 Lucy was showing everyone how the limbo stick game worked.  Not sure how she knew that or really even knew what she was doing, but she thought she was pretty big time, ha!

Thanks for inviting us to your party Owen, so much fun!

Lucy's 2nd Birthday Party!

We celebrated Lucy's 2nd birthday party on Saturday!  Our house was drenched in everything Elmo and Lucy loved it!  She kept saying Elmooo!!!  One of my best friends took a ton of pictures for me and I am so incredibly grateful!  So here they are...Lucy's Elmo Birthday Party.  

Welcome to Lucy's Street...
Her invitation!



The birthday girl all ready for her guests to arrive!!!

Saying hello to her cousin Kaylee!

One of the first things Lucy did when she first came into the dining room was stick her fingers in her Elmo cake and the cookies.  I shrieked at first, but then thought who cares- it's her party!

Our family on her big day!


Lucy and I saying cheese- more like me saying a big cheese and Lucy saying yeah right Momma.

Food table shots!





 Lucy's Elmo cake that I made.  My mom has always made every birthday cake for my sister and I, our wedding cakes, baby shower cakes- everything.  It was special for me to have her make Lucy's 1st birthday cake and then I wanted to attempt to make Lucy's 2nd birthday cake.  I have a lot more respect for my mom and others who decorate cakes...it is not easy!




Ernie's pops (aka marshmello pops)


Big Bird Bites

 Grover's Goodies.  I was so sad because I had all of these really cute cupcake toppers and wrappers to go around the cupcakes, but (1) my cupcake stand was stacks too tight for me to put the cupcake toppers on and then I could not get the cupcake wrappers on for the life of me.  But, they were all pink, red and orange polka dot- so just try to picture the cuteness, haha!

The giant wooden Elmo head that Lucy's Daddy made just for her!  This was the first thing she saw when she woke up from her nap and came out to check out the party.  She loved it!

 The kiddie table

Goodie bags filled with Elmo bubbles, Elmo stickers, Elmo bath fizzies, crayons and red swedish fish gummies (for Elmo's pet/friend Dorothy).





Blowing out her birthday candles!

Lucy and Aunt Crissie and her cousins

The Elmo crew.  Carlos' mom, grandma, aunt and cousin all showed up in Elmo shirts!

 Lucy with her bestie, Ella (who is Laren's little girl).  These girls just ADORE each other and it's a good thing because whether they like it or not they are destined to be best friends- ha!


Lucy with her Daddy and both of Carlos' grandmas

Coloring Elmo sheets

Outside blowing bubbles!

We took all the kids pictures with this giant Elmo balloon, it was a big hit! 

Happy, happy birthday to my LuLu!  It still hasn't sunk it that you will be two years old in just two days...gulp.

Note: All the printed items came from Shindig Parties To Go and you can find her Etsy store here.  She does awesome work, loved it all!
