2 going on 4

When you ask Camille how old she is, she'll say, "I four!"  When you say, "You're not four."  She'll say, "TWO!"
Indeed, my baby girl just turned two.  She is sure she can do everything her 4 yo sister can do, and honestly, I feel like she's been 2 for at least 6 months.  Her birthday was May 9th.  Her party for family and friends was on Saturday the 7th.



 The theme was BALLOONS!  I was really happy with how my balloon cupcake display turned out.  I got the idea here.
The pink ones were strawberry, the purple were vanilla, the green were chocolate, and the orange were "mystery."
Once again, the Hollingers made the trip from PA.  We love them.





We had the party at Fox Hill Park again this year.  We used the grill for a delicious cookout.  Once again, there was a second party that showed up to use the pavilion.  You can't reserve it.  It's first come, first serve.  Luckily, they found my husband first.  He has so much more grace than I do in these situations.  I was ready to tell them to move some tables together under the trees like we did last year.  We were here first!  Of course, SHARING was a much better example for our kids, and it really was fine.  The pavilion is huge.  Thank you sweetie.





KISS SANDWICH!!!



Her cupcake of choice....unfortunately, I forgot to bring candles.

Bobby took most of the pictures in this post.  I handed him my camera when we got to the cupcakes part, and he did a great job capturing the rest of the party.  Thanks Bob!


GIFTS!!!



My uber talented friend, Missy, MADE this doll for Camille.  Yes, I said "made"....yes, she does have three girls of her own....no, I don't know where she finds the time to be so generous with her creativity.








On Camille's actual birthday, daddy had an errand to run close to our house in the middle of the day.  Afterward, he showed up with flowers and a princess card for his birthday princess.
Yeah, he's cool like that.

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!!!  We love you!

Happy Birthday to Camille! The party looks so fun and I love the cupcake arrangement. Now - I have to know, what flavor were the mystery cupcakes?

Lynn said...

The orange ones were either chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. You just didn't know which one you were going to get!
