happy 2nd birthday: party decorations and gifts

As you can see from my previous post, the party totally rocked! We had such a great turnout of friends and family! Definitely makes us realize being so close to Christmas how truly blessed we are... and how much we REALLY have to be thankful for!

But on to the specifics of the party!

I made the invitations. I seen several things online that I liked and decided I would give my photoshop knowledge a try! :) I was pleased with how they turned out!

Hadlea's shirt was made by Mary Kate's Monograms. You can find her HERE on facebook!

The cupcakes and cookies were made by my friend Pamela. The banner was made by my friend Taran. The cupcake toppers and straw tags were made by my blog friend, Kelly. You can find her Etsy store HERE.

I also made the bag tags as party favors. Pamela made the cookies.

All of the clothes Hadlea racked in! SUPER cute stuff!

The toys! (you will not see ONE baby! Ha! I think everyone either knew she had 100 of them or thought she would receive a ton of them! Thank you to all of those smart friends!) (There are a few things missing... bath toys that she immidiately wanted to put in the back and a handmade blanket from our neighbors.)

I ordered this stool for Hadlea from Ellies.com. Love.love.love this! And so does Hadlea!! Working with Ellies.com was so easy! I gave her ideas and she no doubt delivered!

 



Nana and Rusty got Hadlea her table and chairs.

Gigi and Poppa got Hadlea her kitchen set!

And Uncle Jake got Hadlea a new tv for her playroom... (well, not this one, he exchanged it for a 26 inch!)

Again... someone is overly and SUPER spoiled!

Of course, we wouldn't have her any other way! :-)
