Since the girls birthdays are so close together, we did a big family party for both of them. I've been planning it since we moved into our new house, and it went perfectly! We had a lot of guests--those girls are so loved! Grandparents, great-grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins.
Here is the food (okay, dessert) table:
Closer up:
The cake. Oh my goodness. A friend of mine from high school is (obviously) a very talented cake maker. We did a trade for family pictures. Soooo worth it! Contact me if you want her number. :)
Cake pops (also made by my friend). Homemade candy dots, made by myself. :) Turns out, these were the biggest hit. Will totally make these again. Find the recipe here.
Can't go wrong with peeps dipped in chocolate and sprinkles.
Cake again. LOVE.
Mother goose popcorn.
Veggies. Should have specified that these were for eating, not just for looks.
Cute straws. These and the giant birthday balloons can be found here.
Cake again. You know you want to see it. :)
The girls also got spoiled with presents. They were so excited!
I didn't have the heart to cut the cake at this party, so we put candles in cake pops. :) Sang to Lylah first.
Then we sang to Lucy:
Lylah was very happy to sit in the high chair and pig out.
Lucy with Grandma-Great
Lylah and Great Grandpa, looking concerned.
Lucy and Ellie at the end of the party. :)
I'd say the day was a success. Love my little ladies!!
