Party time!

We threw Claire a little birthday party the saturday after she turned 2. It was pretty low key, and turned out really fun!

We ate lots of junk and let the kids run around for a couple of hours. It was great :)

Since Claire loves ladybugs so much I made some ladybug cupcakes for her.
The head is a junior mint, and the polka dots are upside-down chocolate chips.


She was really shy when everyone sang to her at her party, but not when we sang with just our family at home on her birthday.



We also had a little "game" where the kids simply picked black polka dots and took turns decorating a big paper ladybug.


Claire was given her first pair of real ballet slippers from her friend Scarlett!

She loved the ponies, dress up clothes, paints, and pretty sweater.


(Mom especially loved the paint set that only paints on certain paper.... to save our walls! Thanks Tara!)



Thank you every one for coming and for the wonderful gifts!

I love the lady bug theme. You are so clever with the cupcakes, they look delicious and so cute!
My sister's nickname when she was little was b-bug! Originally Katie-bug, but being the big sister who couldn't speak well said b-bug and it stuck. In short, lady bugs were always her thing!

woohoo! Happy Birthday Claire! The cupcakes look very very tasty! Too bad I can't have any.... uhg. Baby better like brownie batter, cause I'm sure excited to eat that after she comes out.

She just keeps getting bigger!
