Elliot turned 2 on Feb. 24th! Can you believe it?! My sweet baby girl is now a big girl! I get teary eyed every time I think about it....
So moving on :) We celebrated Elliot's big day with a Purple Party! Elliot's favorite color is purple, so it was the perfect theme. While she was napping, I decorated the house with purple balloons, streamers, pom poms, and more! We served purple treats and candy for our small guest list. After working feverishly to get it all set up, the big reveal was ready! Tim and I dressed Elliot in her party dress (she calls it her princess dress and wants to wear it every day) and walked her out of her room to see all the decorations. Usually Elliot "oohs and aahs" over a new picture frame, let alone a whole house decorated! Well unfortunately the big excitement that we expected wasn't there. As I feared, Elliot was too nervous about the people who were there that she didn't notice all the festivities.Thankfully after her usual 30 minute grace period, Elliot was running around and laughing hysterically like a normal two year old birthday girl :)
Here is a picture of the treats table (notice the little girl in the bottom left corner eying the goodies)
After playing with her princess balloon (it's deflated form is still a big hit) and the guests, it was time to open presents! Elliot had been very patient but we didn't have to ask twice. She torn through the wrapping paper and ribbons like a pro! Every gift was a hit :) She especially liked her Sophia the First book. This is a tv show on Disney Jr and Elliot loves it!! We have all the episodes saved for emergencies and bribery (yes I'll admit it).
After presents, it was time to sing "happy birthday" and eat the purple treats! Elliot did not enjoy everyone singing to her, but she did enjoy eating the homemade cupcakes :) She really liked the purple edible sparkles on top!
I'd say it was a great day! Filled with lots of love...and sugar, perfect for a two year old princess! A big thanks goes out to Jenny, who tried to capture the day and the elusive Elliot smile (she won't smile for a camera anymore).
