Arianna & Matthew's 2nd birthday party

On Saturday, March 5th we had Ari & Matthew's 2nd birthday party at our house!  Packing 35 people in was an adventure - but we did it!  Everyone had a blast - food was great and my homemade frosting was a HUGE hit!  All of our friends and family were so generous with all of their gifts, and I will say...our kids will be styling this spring & summer with all the great clothes they got!

Elmo & Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street was the theme of this year's party.  Mommy made Matthew an Elmo Cake and I made Ari - pink and purple cupcakes for Abby Cadabby!  I also made the favors for the party - which I forgot to give them to almost everyone who came...so now I have 35 candy bars...oh well...I'll bring them to work!  Ari was nervous when everyone started singing to her, but mommy helped her blow out her candles!  Matthew on the other hand...as you can tell from the photos, was very nervous with the fire coming towards his tray!  He was like...why is this fire so close to me!  It was pretty funny!

On Sunday we surprised Grampa and stopped by his Open house for his train club.  In 10 years we've never been, so we figured since he missed out on coming to the party yesterday - we'd bring the party to him!  The kids were fascinated by his trains!  Especially the Thomas train!
