We got another day to celebrate the birth of our beautiful little girl! I think everyday on how blessed we are to have not 1 but 2 amazing little miracles! It still seems like just yesterday we were bringing Rya home for the 1st time & now here we are - at a party to celebrate her 2nd birthday!
I've been planning this party for at least a month. We had alot of last minute errands to run & my wonderful Dad helped us out with that. My Dad brought Rya, Hayden & I to the park to start setting up. The theme was Tinkerbell so I found a great Happy Birthday banner & tablecloth along with some purple & green streamers & we had some really cute decorations!
I'm really happy with the turn out. We had about 15 people there including my Dad, Garyn's mom, stepdad, 2 nephews & niece. We had a great BBQ, the weather was perfect & all the kids were really good!
Rya started getting fussy after the BBQ was over so we quickly moved on to cake. Her cake was beyond amazing! I still can't believe how beautiful it turned out. I think it's so funny how all out we (as parents) go for a 2 year olds birthday. The cake was delicious but everyone there would have liked to have had some cake with their frosting. Rya was so adorable when everyone sang 'Happy Birthday' to her. She had the cutest smile on her face! It was so precious. I still can't believe how gorgeous she is!
Even though we just ate cake, Rya was ready to go still so we wasted no time & it was present time! She got some great gifts! Mommy & Daddy got her an adorable Disney Princess chair & Tinkerbell coloring book. She got a great baby doll set (high chair, swing, car seat & stroller all in 1) from Garyn's Mom & Stepdad. Garyn's sister gave Rya a great dress up set. My Dad & Stepmom got her a great book, an awesome Hurley sweatsuit & a Cabbage Patch Kid (I was really excited about that since I had 1 when I was little). She along got the pink Mega Block set from some friends & a stuffed animal. All that along with everything she got on her actual birthday, she made out this year!
Time to go home. Rya had a great time! She was so cute & knew that this party was especially for her! This day was so special to Garyn & I as well. We've been through alot since March 2009. Sadly her 1st birthday is actually something that I wish I could forget only because we weren't able to do much for her. Her 2nd birthday was everything I'd hoped it would be! She had an amazing time, we had a great turn out (thank you so much to everyone who came!) & everytime I think about her little face & her laughing & smiling at the party, I cry. It was truly exactly what I wanted! I cried even more when we got home. I cleaned up everything & put away all her new toys & put together her baby doll set. She put her baby in her new stroller & was running around the house, laughing while pushing the stroller. Then she decided she wanted to play with her dress up set so I put everything on her. She's such a little girl! She was having so much fun with her dress up jewelry on! It's just what I wanted! My baby girl to have a great party & great day!
