Grace's 2nd Birthday Party!

Today was Grace's 2nd birthday party. She had a great time...photos don't lie!

I took a few photos before everyone arrived and got Grace to smile pretty well. Here are a few of them...and one where she actually held her balloons!







This next set is a typical Grace and Evan series. Notice how serious Grace is :)







A unique moment.



We had many active children at the party, so we brought out the long balloons for a balloon sword fight. It went pretty well and all had fun...well...







Notice our friend Ralph in the chair smiling. He is watching his daughter and the other kids having a great time. He thinks that he is in a very safe place...



Oh no...what's happening Ralph!



Ralph is over taken by children and balloons!



Here's our sweet little girl enjoying her birthday cake...



...yummy cake...



...real yummy cake!



Grace and her birthday friends...





Here are Grace's birthday presents. We waited until the party guests left to open them. It was just easier to focus at that time and we even got Grace ready for bed first because it was well past her bed time. She loved all he generous gifts!













So the party went off really well. I think that everyone had a lot of fun. I just need to share two more photos. We order 12 pretty balloons for the party with extra long strings because of out high ceilings. You can see why we did this in the photo below because all the balloons eventually headed to the very top.



Even though it was chilly out side, with so many people in doors, it got a little warm. So someone decided to turn on the ceiling fan...near the balloons...with the extra long strings :)
