For Addy's 2nd birthday, we had a ladybug party! It was great fun (thanks to all the great ideas off the internet!)
We played a few games including: Put the Spot on the Ladybug.
Addy was really cute and would run and give the blind fold and spot to whoever was next and then stand next to the poster and point to where it was suppose to go.
And then if you didn't get the spot in the right place, she would fix it for you. She is just so kind like that!
Then we did a bean bag toss through the ladybug spots. Sadly, I don't have a picture of my amazing cardboard box, but here is Addy throwing the bean bags.
(Sorry- I couldn't get the video to work)Thanks to everyone else who came. Hopefully you had some fun.
Our next game was what we called musical spots. Robbie and older Adi won.
Then we sent the kids downstairs to "spot" the bugs. I'd just cut out little paper bugs and bought some plastic bugs at the dollar store and hid them around and then they put them into these cute little bug bags I made.
Onto presents!!! Who doesn't love those :)
Inside this box was some much needed warm clothes.
A cute little baby Ariel. She played with this the entire way back up to Rexburg so a special thanks to the Clews family.
A BIKE!! Thanks Johnsons (she has gotten way better at pushing herself around)
We got her some doll stuff and her own pots and pans and a couple weeks ago she got an early present from Nana and Papa. I'll have to put pictures of those up later.
She is giving her thank you hugs!! Being a mom is just the best.
Back upstairs for cake and ice cream and yes, I made this amazing cake! We actually had two parties and this is the cake from the next day, it turned out much better.
She had a hard time blowing out the candles because every time she would get close, she would feel the heat from the flame and turn her head and say hot. So she got a little help.
And then stuffed her face!
Happy Birthday Sweetheart!! We are so glad you are a part of our family. You keep us smiling and laughing all day long. Love you!
We have been having lots of fun at our house this week with two silly little girls running around. Addy seriously idolizes Gracie. If she leaves the room for more than a couple of minutes she will start looking around and asking, "where Gracie?" I'm not sure how she will make it through next week without her :(
It actually has been pretty nice because they are really good at keeping each other occupied, but two kids is definitely way more work than one.
The best part of having a four year old around is that Addy finally has really clean teeth. In fact I think she is addicted to toothpaste. She saw Gracie getting her teeth brushed and then spitting into the sink and from then on, it was a really cool thing to do. I probably brush her teeth four times a day, although half of those I just pretend there is toothpaste :)
They really are just too cute! but when they are done with pictures, they are done with pictures (at least Addy)!
