3 year old birthday party

The Guests:  Avery with Travis & Lauren, Ruby with Erin, Uncle Brandon, and Grandma Debbie.

The Menu:

• Pizza, caesar salad, fruit salad, birthday cupcakes & ice cream
• Each child got a Cars lunch bag with goldfish crackers, a cheese stick, baby carrots, raisins, a banana, and juice    

The Snake Hunt:  We read a story about a family that played music every day to keep their snake happy.  After the story, we passed out recorders to play and we went downstairs for a snake hunt.

...and here is a short video of our snake hunt!

Mommy You Look Pretty

After going outside to do an errand with daddy today Braxton came into the house and presented me with these little yellow flowers.     

And, this video features a phrase that Braxton just started saying "mommy, you look pretty".

Today we went to JC Penny to have Braxton's official 2 year old photos taken. Here are the photos from the photo shoot.  Isn't he cute?!!!

2 year old Birthday Party

Braxton's 2 year old birthday bash was a success!

The guests:  Avery (with her parents Travis and Lauren) and Ruby (with her parents Chris and Erin)

The menu: raisins, mandarin oranges, ritz crackers, grapes, goldfish crackers, juice boxes and pizza followed by brownies and ice cream.(the grapes were the most popular!)

The craft activities: playing with pipe cleaners and using markers to decorate tamborines.
The gift bags contained animal crackers, a juice box, lotion, and the tamborine that each girl decorated at the party (it made me happy to put these gift bags together and they looked cute with the "thanks for coming" photo of Braxton).

 

 

These are the Happy Birthday Brownies that I made (not to be confused with the 2-layer cake that I baked, decorated, and ruined earlier in the day) .  These brownies were yummy.

Two videos from the Birthday Party:

The party was a smashing success.  The biggest incident of the night came after the party was over.  Braxton was running around downstairs and tripped.  His head dented a corner of the wall and chipped off some paint.  Braxton is fine but the wall is not (photo below).  Brock sumarized by saying, "unfortunately Braxton has his mother's grace and his father's smarts."
