Party Time!

my little BABY is 2!  how can that be?  her birthday fell on a saturday this year so it worked out perfectly.  Lofton's favorite thing in the world is to play at our neighborhood playground so it just made since to celebrate there.  We did a morning party thank goodness because it was close to 90 by mid-afternoon.  We had lots of family, friends, and SUGAR!  fyi-chicfila nugget party trays are a huge hit for toddlers and parents alike.  We also had chicken salad sandwiches, chips, goldfish, a fruit tray with cake batter dip (yum!), squeezes, and homemade cupcakes.  It was a perfect morning and I could not have pulled it off without help from my mom and MIL setting up, Dad/Dewey hauling to and from running errands, Justin helping the boys take down, Marti for lending me a LOT of party things, and Tiffany for helping with the cupcakes!
My pictures are out of order since I lost the battle with this blog once more, but whatever.   There are also one million thanks to my hubby.  This is narrowed down from about a hundred...We have our well child visit tomorrow so i'll update more on Lofton at 2 then!



fun new outdoor playhouse from mimi and pop pop.  L rings the doorbell and yells "come in" to herself before entering every time.


piggies, and curls, and smocked little apron dresses, oh my!

first tennis shoes.  ready to run at the park!
L wasn't into face painting, but she loved the cupcake on her arm.

L's little mama, Kendall Claire

Snuggle break!  L was a little shy at first with all of the attention on her.  A cupcake and a juice box fixed that!
"blowing" out the candles.  The wind was WAY too strong for the candles to light, but we had been practicing so she blew anyway!

saying goodbye to mimi and ready for a nap!
then (out of order time...) 6:30am on Saturday when L woke up.  I walked in singing "happy birthday".  She thought it was awesome!
then ran to her chair and yelled "Lofton flying!"

token strawberries (which were totally ignored) to help counteract the donut holes.
and the decor...
