The party

This week was a hot one.
Saturday was supposed to be cool.
It wasn't cool. It was perfect.

Littles happily and excitedly walked through the 'Aryn Street' sign, carrying bags and smiles, and came to celebrate our little girl. So much love and happiness. 

The decorations all symbolized her, with her weird obsession on all things Sesame Street, namely Elmo and Cookie Monster. Baby girl loves that high-pitched red guy and screams, "Mo!" every time she sees him. Even if it's on a tshirt of a random kid. Baby loves her some Mo.

Aryn understood that all of these people were here for her, celebrating her and loving her. But she was too busy having so much fun to acknowledge it. So many friends to play with; so little time.

And gifts? baby girl was so spoiled... and I think next year we're not going to open gifts during the party because... well, mama opened them all. Baby girl was too busy running around the tree.

The baby group I started last year has blossomed into a group of amazing friends. Even some of the newer members just fell straight into the group. We all get along, we all have fun together, and we all enjoy each other's company. And this party proved that.

Yes, I know this one isn't in focus. None of the ones of her in the swing were. But I still wanted to emulate her dress in the swing. Pure awesome.

Super awesome cake courtesy of Grandpa Bob! Thank you Grampy for making the cake so special for Aryn! FYI: it tasted delicious!

Our birthday weekend celebration has finally ended, and I'm so grateful for such a wonderful and fun-filled time. So much love was poured into this tiny person of only two years old. What will bring this next year? I can only expect greater things for her. And more love.

Happy happy happy birthday, baby girl. 

Special thanks to Anna Luv Designs for Aryn's super awesome tutu dress!! Even though she refused to wear the tutu for the second half of the party, it was perfection and I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you Anna Luv for making Aryn's day even more special!
