My little baby is growing up so fast. I can't believe she is a big two year old now!! We had a birthday party for her on the Saturday after her birthday, since her birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year. At Makenna's first birthday party she didn't really understand that it was a party for her, but just liked everyone being at the house to hang out; this year she knew that the party was for her and she was even singing happy birthday to herself weeks in advance:-) The theme of her party was Nursery Rhymes and so everything went along with that theme as best as we could.
Here is our cutie pie at her party.
Makenna did an awesome job of blowing out her candles this year and eating her cake. She was such a delicate eater and people commented on how clean she stayed...that's my girl...hehe.
It was so hilarious during her gift opening time. All of the kids wanted to open her gifts, and Makenna didn't really mind if they did.
And then once she got a gift everyone wanted to play with, she did somewhat have an issue.

Some toys had to be immediately removed because there was a mob mentality of pushing and shoving happening. It was so funny.

Makenna also insisted on putting on some of the pieces of clothing that she got as soon as she opened it. It was commented that she had a Lady Gaga look going on:-)
Just in case you are wondering, I won't bore you with a whole bunch of pictures, but here is some of the food (themed with the appropriate nursery rhymes).
We had I'm a Little Teapot Tea & Drinks, Little Jack Horner's
Plum Apple Pie, Rub-A-Dub-Dub Lit'l Smokies in a Tub, Old Mother Hubbard Found Chips & Salsa, Muffin Man Muffins, Three Blind Mice Cheese & Crackers, Pop Goes the Weasel Popcorn, Jack & Jill's Pail of Water (Pail filled with water bottles), Humpty Dumpty Devlied Eggs, and Mary Quite Contrary's Fruit & Veggies. Not to be forgotten, the cupcakes that were The Cow Jumping Over The Moon.
