Lesson learned. Don't listen to weather people.
Anyway, we had Maelin's "Maisy Mouse" party on the 11th at our house. We all had a really nice time. The weather cooperated and even though a few of our good friends and family weren't able to make it, everyone who was there was in a great mood and excited to help our little one celebrate how big she is getting!
She was a bit out-of-sorts though. She did NOT like having that many people in her house. She was totally clinging to me, Kevin, Kat and Jeff. That's it. NO ONE else was allowed near her (which made Kat and Jeff very happy...Grandma, not so much). She had a great time running around outside and swinging. However, she was a bit confused why we were messing with Elmo the pinata. You could totally see the wheels turning in her head and wondering why candy and things were falling out of Elmo's back.
Then it was cake time! She didn't understand the whole "blow out the candles" thing, but she got into the spirit of it when cousin Ryan helped her blow. She loved her cake...as shown by the totally adorable picture below. She's still asking for "Brdday Cake?!?" as soon as we get into the car every day...then opening her mouth real wide into an "O" shape like she's super excited for it. :-) Couldn't be cuter.
The best part of any birthday party is the presents! Maelin got lots of great stuff: books, toys, tea sets, shoes, and a zoo pass! I'm super excited about that one. Anyway, she had fun opening presents until we tried to help her: that created a 15 minute crying-jag because she wasn't doing it herself. Little Diva.
Our good friends helped us celebrate Maelin's 2nd birthday with so much love and support. They brought food, drinks and even stayed late to help clean up. I hope when Mae grows up she realizes how lucky she is to be surrounded by so many people who think she's pretty special. I know I do.
Here are a few pictures from Maelin's birthday party. Our big 2-year-old girl!
