Levi's 2nd Birthday Party!!

Levi's 2nd Birthday Party!!

We celebrated Levi's 2nd birthday this last weekend even though he doesn't turn two until Thursday.  I've been so excited to throw this party because I knew he'd love it.  And he did!!  Levi has loved 'e-i-e-i-o' for quite some time.  He loves Old McDonald anything!  He now has many more interests, but hasn't grown tired of farm things.

I saw these balloon animals on Pinterest.  Let's just say...not so easy to make.  So, out of the five shown on pinterest, I managed two.  It works right?

My oh so talented hubby made this chocolate, from scratch, barn cake.  It might have taken him all day, but I call it a success!

I've always wanted to add little signs to food items but always run out of time.  Finally got some made!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each kiddo received a hat, duck, and farm animal tattoo as their favor.  I wish I would have captured the kids with their hats on.  But...no.

I found this cow on Amazon.  It was definitely a hit!!  Who needs a real animal when you have a cool balloon animal?  Ha!

Of course Levi just wanted to bull doze it down.

As for games....I found two that I thought would work for a two year old's party.  The pink balloons are 'pigs' that escape from their pig pen.  I 'timed' them to see how fast they could all put the 'pigs' back in their pen.  This was a quick activity but Levi and the other kids seemed to enjoy it.

This was Levi's expression as everyone sang Happy Birthday to him.

For a kid that LOVES candles/fire, he had a rather serious face going on here.  But he did manage to blow out the candle by himself.

This kiddo loves his sugar....like his parents.  :/

We are so so so very grateful for all of our friends that could make it!!

The other activity I planned was basically just an egg hunt.  I told the kids that some chickens laid eggs all over the back yard and I needed their help to find them all.  Who doesn't like a good egg hunt?  Honestly, Levi was not very good at this.  I kept finding myself wanting to show him where they all were hidden.  And hidden is used lightly.....they were basically just everywhere.

Levi received so many great gifts...books, tool set, dublo blocks, train blocks, bulldozer, excavator(or something like that), puzzles.

Me and my almost two year old!!

Josh's parents(Granna and Papa) were able to come down and join the festivities.  I could not have pulled this party off without their help! 

Nora pretty much slept through the party, but I had to include a picture of the two.  Sweet siblings!

Levi was attempting to 'read' Nora his book.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We all enjoy visits from Granna and Papa.

Levi, we love you more than you will ever know!  We love your fun, sweet, and inquisitive little personality.  We are the ones blessed to get to love, care and parent you.  Happy birthday sweet boy!!
