Andrus Family: Two be Remembered!

For Tilly's actual birthday, we kept with tradition and had waffles for breakfast with candles. We made a cake for lunch, and spaghetti for dinner - her favorite. We didn't do anything terribly exciting because, let's face it. Her birthday was on a Tuesday and Kevin works late and we were leaving to go camping just two days later. So, we kept it simple. But, I knew I had to make this party "big" and somewhat memorable because I totally dropped the ball last year and didn't do a big First birthday for her.

Still waking up - can you tell? She still looks drowsy!

And cake for a snack - nothing but the best on your 2nd bday baby!

Party Day! I love her curls!

I think I did a pretty good job on her party, if I do say so myself! I have never made a birthday outfit for the girls, so Tilly was extra lucky to get an outfit (trying to ease my guilt from last year, can you tell?). I found this fabric and fell in love with it. I went with a pink theme and got a lot of ideas from different pics I had seen on pinterest (my latest hobby). There are so many creative people out there in the world! I am glad I can copy them.

And of course, I made this banner a few months ago just for this party. I figured staying in the pink family of fabrics was pretty safe for 3 girls. We will get a lot of use out of this.

I had a pink dessert table with Pink Rice Krispie Treats, dipped marshmallows, candy goody bags, jelly beans, and taffy. I was going to do a bundt cake for my little cake stand, BUT the night before the party it totally fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pan! I hate that!!! So, it was all cupcakes. Thankfully, I have a ton of cake boxes in my pantry! Then I used the extra fabric from her outfit to decorate the table and vases. I love the way it turned out. I only wish I had a larger table to fill. I can see how people can go all out on these birthday parties. Once you get going, it is hard to stop. All the goodies turned out so good! I love my hanging pom poms.
