The living room had pink hearts everywhere, and pink crepe paper anywhere we could wrap it:
The kitchen table was all set for cookie-decorating:
Lemonade, pink heart cookies, pink cupcakes, and the cutest little napkins and cups (from Hallmark, of course):
Whitney and I made these "mobiles" to hang from the kitchen windows. Sorry the lighting is terrible, but you get the idea:
And HERE COMES THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!! (I got to fix her hair!) She was wearing a new dress that was perfect for dancing and twirling:
The Puppy Pit was a big hit! A little bit staticky, but a constant source of entertainment (when Delaney wasn't sitting on her party guests):
I think these two are now friends for life. This is Troy's dad, Daryl and my cousin Cortney's son, Cory. They are not related, but they didn't seem to care:
Bryce and Delaney took turns on the Rock Band drums:
Bethany and Sophie said hello to Cory (the happiest baby ever):
This was "the spread" - macaroni and cheese, corn dog bites, pigs in a blanket, apple sauce, jello jigglers, oranges, and cupcakes! All very popular with kids and adults alike!:
The kids' table:
Time for presents!!! (Delaney got to sit in her princess chair - a gift from Nana Beth on her 1st Birthday. Such a good idea!)
Daryl and Karen (Troy's parents) and Cory:
Delaney opened her first song card (Hallmark!). I'm pretty sure it was Little Mermaid:
Bryce got stuck in a folding chair:
All of the kids sat so patiently while Delaney opened her gifts:
Delaney got a princess tiara and matching earrings:
She put it on right away! (backward):
Dig in!
Pure glee:
Something that came with 250 pieces!
"They don't make these things easy to open":
Troy distributed pieces of the Little People Carriage to actual Little People:
Emily drew a beautiful picture for Delaney. Here, she is describing all of it to Whitney:
Grant drew a wonderful picture as well. Here, he is showing it to everybody:
Time to decorate cookies!!! All of the kids got to put icing and sprinkles on as many cookies as they wanted! (popsicle sticks + frosting + plastic table cloth = no mess!):
Emily's cookie:
Sophie's cookie:
Singing Happy Birthday (twice...because she's two!):
I'm pretty sure we lit the candle twice as well:
Now...time for ice cream and cupcakes!:
The aftermath:
Bethany, Sophie, Delaney (distracted by new ponies) and Whitney:
Time for Round Two of presents (now that the kids have some sugar in 'em!):
"Here...mommy will help you.":
Delaney LOVES new books:
Especially Eric Carle books:
A gift from Nana and Papa:
"It's Miss PIGGY!" (The Muppet Show):
A gift from Mommy and Daddy:
Still not sure about those pedals:
Uncle Ryan, putting together Delaney's (impressive) Baby Doll Nursery Set (that's the crib):
Delaney put the baby right to sleep (such a little mama):
Checking the baby's diaper:
"cheeeeeeeeeeeeese"
Anneliese took a turn in the Puppy Pit:
Good times with big sister:
Grant and Troy tried Wii Skiing for a while:
Grant showed Troy how to make turns:
And how to jump:
And how to do tricks:
Very impressive!
Delaney changed in to her "going home outfit", and I realized I hadn't had my picture taken with the birthday girl yet:
I like to make her giggle and squirm:
Delaney put her baby in the swing:
Delaney gave her baby a push:
Time to go home. Nana helped Delaney with her shoes and socks (Delaney was not ready to go home yet):
Nana knows how to make her laugh:
"It's not nice to kick Nana..."
Kisses from mommy:
Mommy makes her giggle and squirm too:
Happy Birthday, Delaney! We still can't believe you're already TWO!:
