Saturday, June 5th, was Kristie's 2nd birthday. Can you believe that? All day long I kept thinking about what she looked like at the hospital, exactly two years ago. What she sounded like, what little faces she'd make. Now she's grown into this energetic little toddler that just gets cuter and cuter. I keep thinking how blessed I am to have such a fun, sweet daughter that I can't get enough of. These past two years have flown by Kristie! We love you!
Her birthday party was absolutely wonderful and just how I imagined it! We planned it to be outside at Harborview park, just down the street from where we live. It has an amazing view of the Puget Sound that I never get tired of. We were getting nervous because it had been raining for at least a week straight. Friday it poured....Saturday it was sunny and 70 degrees!!!!! Then Sunday it poured again. How lucky are we?! I just couldn't get over it. So we had the lovely sunny day we'd hoped for. And pretty much everyone we invited came, so we had a good sized crowd to celebrate and hang out with! It was great, since it was at the park which is huge and open, we could spread out, play wiffle ball, sit, talk, let the kids run around...it was perfect! We got Kristie a slide (that fits perfectly on our apt porch!) that I found on craigslist. She got lots of other lovely presents from our friends and family who are so insanely sweet! All in all, it was a perfect party! Jason and I left absolutely beaming and Kristie just had a blast!
Ready for her entourage to arrive. =)
I had sooo much fun with this cake. I took color inspiration from the invitation and went nuts from there.
