Tonight we bid farewell to Veronica's 2nd birthday celebration:) Due to our Disney trip and other events, we finally just had Veronica's 'friend' bday party tonight (her bday was September 30th:).
What a night it was!!!! I just sit down after these events, reflect on it all, and am just so thankful! What incredible friends we have in our lives! We just love having everyone over to celebrate...it is SO FUN!!!
We kept Halloween going tonight with Veronica's Happy Halloween Bday Bash! We love Halloween and it is always SO FUN to see all the little kiddos in their costumes...they are the cutest little kiddos in town!!! Princesses, puppies, skunks, witches, a banana, Tigger, and more...so many CUTE costumes!!!
There was pizza and cake - homemade by Dad this year...way to go Dad!!! We also made mini cake bites in the shapes of pumpkins and ghosts...fun:) You know me...I'm all about the theme!!!
Next came the Halloween Trick or Treat Parade! The parents lined up on the stairs and in the living room and with "This is Halloween" playing in the background, the kids marched up in their costumes collecting candy from parents along the way. Fun! I just love it!
Than it was on to the 'sweets' part of the night with cookie decorating, also some crafts, and a couple of rounds of musical chairs accompanied by a 'Ghostbusters Dance Party':)
So now let's talk about the Birthday Girl - Veronica Grace Elizabeth Hanson!!! I thought it was so funny...Debbie called after the party and commented on how Veronica just had everything going on tonight...she was the cutest kid in town...in Debbie's words, "It all just worked on her tonight":) And I have to say, I agree!:) V chose to wear her Cinderella dress tonight and it was DARLING on her...combine that with a pile of curls up on top of her head and her mischevious, endearing smile and oh boy...that little girl is so cute it's dangerous:) She was a precious birthday princess.
Veronica is a birthday nut! Ever since her Scooby Doo family party back in September, she is always saying things like, "My happy birthday", "My bday cake", "I want my Happy Bday", etc...We made the mistake of telling her earlier in the week that her bday party was this weekend, which led to several Veronica meltdowns/temper tantrums when her bday party and bday cake weren't happening right that second. She loves birthday parties...hers in particular! And Miss V definitely had an extra spring in her step tonight. You could see the excitement in her eyes and the pure joy and happiness she was experiencing as the night wore on! It was so special.
I loved watching her big brown eyes sparkle and her smile get bigger and bigger as we all sang 'Happy Birthday' to her...it was so adorable...I'll remember it always! It means so much to see her enjoy the party and sharing it with all of our special friends!
By the end of the night, her princess curls were a wild mess on top of her head and there was chocolate all over her face. As the last of our friends were leaving, she stood on the steps eating a piece of pizza and said, "Thank you my happy birthday, thank you my Jocie (her buddy that was leaving), bye" and blew a kiss and than waved her sweet little wave. Veronica has the most adorable wave as of late...I think it's the result of our Disney trip and all the waving at characters throughout the park and at parades. She stretches her arm straight up and moves her wrist back and forth so that just her little hand waves...almost like a pageant wave...it is so cute!!!
Than she hammed it up for the camera, posing for me, showing me her grand arabesque, and turning around and tilting her head back so I could see her curls...it was so funny. Than she danced around the entry way saying "Shuuuuuu-ffle step, shuuuuuuuuu-ffle step, shuffle HOP step, shuffle HOP step".
Than she discovered the Little Mermaid ball Wadholm's had gotten her and squealed in delight as she kicked it around the living room like a soccer pro! Life is good when your two!
We love bday parties and we love our friends...combine the two together and we couldn't ask for a better night! What fun! We love watching the kids play and make a mess and just BE KIDS! We love watching the moms and dads all interact and connect and build friendships! It is all just so wonderful!!!!
Happy Birthday Veronica Grace Elizabeth! We are so happy you had so much fun at your party! Thank you for showing us your thanks with that adorable smile and sparkling eyes! Mommy and Daddy felt the excitement right along with you!!! We LOVE YOU BABY GIRL...oops, I mean big girl:)
