Lucy's birthday was last week but we celebrated it on Saturday when we could have a full-out party with family there. Lucy has a book about birthday parties, and so in the days leading up to her party she was very interested in the influx of balloons, crepe paper, and carnival-themed decorations. She kept asking very pointed questions: "MY party? People coming? BALLOONS??" It was adorable. And she did have a blast.
We went with a carnival theme for our animal loving gal, and my mom and I spent a fun day scouring the dollar store, Walmart, and Michaels for thrifty party decorations.
Here was our part decor/part entertainment elephant stand that I drew and my dad nailed to some boards for the kids to throw balls through:
And here's the food table!
We had popcorn, cupcakes, animal crackers and animal cookies.
Mom and I scrapped the idea of decorating cupcakes in the shape of animals, and instead found some cute wooden animals that we stuck on sticks at Michaels. Much easier and still so cute!
We set up a kid's activity table with colored pencils, stickers, puzzles and coloring sheets:
And of course, every two year old loves balloons and party blowers:
The kids opted for chowing down on popcorn first
But they also spent a good deal of time with the stickers
And the party blowers:
And even a bit of the elephant stand game:
Lucy loved having everyone sing her happy birthday
And she is still talking about that cupcake:
Lucy said goodbye to her guests through the elephant stand:
It was a fabulous afternoon, and we're really grateful for the 2 years God has given to our spunky, beautiful little girl. Happy Birthday Lucy!
