Not sure
how we got here but somehow my little chunky baby is now a two year old! We had
her birthday party at our house this year and while it was a lot of work, I'm
glad we did. While planning for her party we were worried about it being so hot
outside that we were thinking of other places to host it. We decided to have it
home anyways and just made sure that we would have room to go inside if we
needed to. Well...we ended up moving the party inside but not because of the
heat, because of the cold and wind! Its July! I never would have thought it
would have been so chilly and windy, it felt like an early spring evening.
Since the wind was so strong I wasn't able to do hardly any of the decorations
I had ready which was a bummer but not the end of the world lol. I felt like I
was a lot more prepared and organized for this birthday party than her last. I
tried to choose simple food and decorations so I wouldn't get overwhelmed.
Thankfully the food stayed warm long enough for everyone to come up and get
seconds even with the cold wind. We even managed to open presents outside, we
just had to chase after all of the tissue paper that Hadley was throwing
around! When it came time for cake we decided to move the party inside. Aunt
Rachel made the cake and not only did it taste great, it was beautiful! I also
made a strawberry slab pie for those who don't like cake or wanted to have two
desserts lol. Overall the party went super well and Hadley had a lot of fun
with family and friends. When everyone comes together for such a special
occasion, it makes me realize just how blessed we are to have so many loving
and caring people in our lives. Below are some of the pictures my dad and I
took throughout the party. Thank you to all who wished Hadley a happy birthday,
we love and appreciate you all!
