Lollipop Laney!

laney celebrated her 2nd birthday in high style. lindsey, laney's mama, is super crafty and did some fabulous stuff for laney's bday. starting with the adorable lollipop invite...handed crafted by linds...of course! :) it is on my fridge & i admire it daily! (i know...i know...i should take a photo, but it's Friday and it has been a LONG week! still coming off the honeymoon high!)

Let's get to the goodies!
laney...the gorgeous birthday girl.

moving onto some of the mini party guests!
i love watching all the little munchkins hangin' out together...so cute!

hudson...check out those baby blues

reese...i love that BIG smile

mathias...isn't he a doll?

emme...lindsey was so sweet & let j & me bring her with us.
we gave elton & nat (her daddy & mama) a WELL needed break!!
she was soooo good for us!
thanks again linds! she had a blast!

elsie & nana...she is such a peach!

hannah...simply stunning!

erica & julia...i just love this picture!
jules...how could you not fall in love?

okay, so these pictures are not in "time" order...i just don't have the patience tonight to be that organized...sorry!

GIFT TIME!
check out this adorable chalkboard that Nana & Papa got Laney!
hey erica...still have some paint left? looks like you have another chalkboard to paint! :)

Linds...please don't kill me BUT i couldn't resist!
i love your reactions & this picture captured it PERFECTLY!!
seriously though, how cute is the yarn food that erica got laney?!? gotta love etsy!!

priceless!

the kiddos watching laney opening her gifts!
look at jules (yellow dress) clapping for laney & ALL the new toys!

laney's face is so cute in this one!


laney's birthday gift from mama & daddy! an outdoor playhouse!

check out the lollipop clip that...wait for it...wait for it...
yes, lindsey MADE!! no, i am not kidding...i told you, she is crafty!

LOLLIPOP HUNT!
linds organized a lollipop hunt for the kiddos.
the big ones on the lawn were decor! cute huh?

but, all over the yard she taped mini lollipops for them to find!
on the back of each pop it had the name of a prize!
do you see them on the wall?
the hunt ended with a visit to the treasure chest!
where their paper lollipops magically turned into "lollipop treasures!"
thanks to lindsey & nana (lindsey's AMAZING mom)

PINATA TIME!
internet, let's talk about the pinata for a moment...
do you see how cute it is? do you see how perfectly it matches the colors of the bday bash?
well this is no mistake...this is not a store bought pinata.
i think you know what i am about to tell you...i have a feeling you can't believe it either...
well, it's true lindsey MADE it...no joke, from start to finish!
SPEECHLESS? Me too!!

i didn't forget about you Lane...check out that adorable little thang going after that pinata!
Get it lane!


Jason asked Julia "did you get a lot of candy?"
Jules - "yep, this is better than halloween!"

oh...did you check out her super cute lollipop outfit?
that's courtesy of nana!
Lindsey's mom is so TALENTED. she made our flower girls dresses!

CAKE!
let's pause for a moment and take in the beauty of this cake.
lindsey hand crafted it ALL! can we say professional?

happy birthday to you! happy birthday to you!

Megan, I couldn't wait to see your post on the party and you are so sweet! Thanks for all the kind things you had to say... I have to say that all the hard work DID pay off. Everything turned out just the way I imagined it would. Thanks for getting some great shots too! It's so hard to take pictures while entertaining. I love the one of Laney with her cake and the big lollipop. She has a really cute expression on her face =)


Thanks for coming, it wouldn't have been the same without you, jason or little miss emme!
