Piper's 2nd Birthday - Part 2

Piper's birthday party was last Saturday. God was looking out for me, too, because He made a BEAUTIFUL day for her party. I had it at a local park, and I thought it was a success, despite the alleged "double booking" of the pavilion. In the end, I won. But, I digress.

The day of her birthday party was the first warm, sunny day we have had in a while, and I think all the kids (and parents) enjoyed being outdoors. I had great plans for decorations that included balloons, flower pots and table cloths, but the wind had other ideas. But, I didn't let that ruin her party. The kids played on the playground the entire duration of her party. The playing paused to sing happy birthday and eat cake, but quickly resumed.


Piper is so lucky to have the greatest big cousin ever, Alley. Alley is turning 12 tomorrow, and is the greatest kid I know. She is so patient and kind with the kiddos, and I feel so blessed that she has been in my life for the last 8 years.


As I mentioned, the guests played on the playground so much, I decided to not open presents at her party. With the temptation of climbing and slides, I didn't think that the kids would want to sit and watch Piper open presents for 30 minutes, so we took them to my parents house and opened them there.


I can't believe she's 2!! I look forward to many more birthday parties!
