The Party

Here she is, our birthday Princess. These pictures were actually taken the other day because I knew I would be too busy to get any good ones at the party, and I was very right. My pictures from today were not good, but these are some of my all time favorites. Since I know a lot of people will want to know, her pettiskirt is made by Oopsy Daisy. It is crazy cute!

This could possibly be my favorite picture of all time. This is a little face that only people who know Lucy really really well get to see. It is so rare that I would catch it in a picture.

The party was crazy! We had a ton of people over here. I was so so excited to finally meet Nicki and her family in person after knowing her well for a few years now. The girls were so adorable together. I am not going to lie, Lucy was a little overwhelmed by all of the commotion. She was fine and happy, but pretty shy. There were 14 kids and a whole lot of adults. It was 105 degrees. All of the kids played in baby pools and the sprinklers while the adults melted. We had one major mishap - the ice cream cake we had preordered was never actually made. I threw a fit and ended up getting two small, already made cakes for free. But the point is, I wanted our personalized cake. I got over it after pouting for a bit. Lucy could have cared less because she thought the cake was awesome. She got so many fun gifts. They will have to be a post in and of themselves.

I am so exhausted and feel like I have been run over. So, none of these pictures got any editing and I am hoping Nicki got some better ones than I did. I am going to bed. More later.

Miss Addy Mai doing gymnastics in the pool. She and Lucy really really resemble one another. Everyone thought so.

So pleased with her bicycle that is way too big. It didn't stop her from figuring out how to get it around.

The balloons were her favorite part.

We set the slide up to go into the pool. It was a big hit.

Happy Birthday Lucy! Hope you had a wonderful day! Enjoy being TWO!

The pictures are so sweet. Love the pettiskirt. Have you seen the ones made my Kaiya Eve? You have to check them out! Lu has a leopard print one with matching top...it's so funny.

Anyway, glad you survived the party. Funny about the cake. I would have thrown a holy fit myself! Ha!

Love love love the pictures! I am so glad everything went well. I would have pitched a fit too about the cake.

Happy Birthday Lucy!!!!

Love the pettiskirt, it is a total Lucy look.

I too would have raised some hell over the cake!!

Looks like she had fun with her friends, Addy and Lucy look very similar. I thought the last picture was Lucy for a minute!!

Happy Birthday Lucy! Be on the look out for a present from Lilly!

Oh my goodness - where did you find the bathing suit with the bright red cherries? (At least, I think they look like cherries?) (I am obsessed with all things cherry-printed at the moment. It's a sickness, really.)

She looks adorable. And she and Addy Mai do look alike - I've kind of thought that before, but, to see the two of them together makes it obvious.

what an awesome party!
the girls are fabulous!!!
Hope Justin came through and was well for the party!

Kelli said...

I can't believe Lucy is 2! Happy birthday! The pictures are fab and so is the outfit! I always thought Addy and Lucy looked alike in pictures, but wow, it is amazing how much so when they are together in pictures. Sounds like a great party, even without the cake- which I would have thrown a fit about as well.

Happy birthday Lucy! I LOVE seeing Lucy and Addy together...can't wait until my munchkins join in their mischief - just ~2 weeks away!! Lucy looks so proud of herself riding her new bike. I think we should do a belated birthday celebration in FL altogether and give the custom cake another go - there's a Cold Stone down the street from the house and we could get 'em to write all the kids' names on it!
Anyway, wish we could've been there too. Looks like it was a hit Kell!

Happy Birthday Lucy!!! You all look like you had a great time. Gracie sent Lucy a present. It is the last thing she needs but I knew it was for her the second I saw it.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Lucy!!! The party was such a success, and except for a little cake glitch and 105 degrees, all was perfect. We had a great time with you, the Pollards, and all your friends. Hope the next year doesn't fly by so quickly. And maybe next year we can get Aunts Holly, Amy, and Katy here!!! Love you to pieces, PaPa and LeeLee

Gorgeous, gorgeous pictures (and babies, and skirt, and all of it)! Wow, you and Nicki are so right, seeing the girls right next to each other is unbelievable. I've always thought yeah, I can see how you say they look alike, but wow - can't imagine it in person! Glad the party went so well!
