2nd Birthday Party

(Long post- sorry!)
Reese and Riley had a Thing 1 & Thing 2/ Dr. Seuss themed 2nd birthday party. It was lots of fun!!

24 pictures of my girls together- one for each month!

FuN sIpPy CuPs for our friends

Love R & R's Dr. Seuss booties in this pic at 6 months old

Party Favors. And we had our guests write a note to the girls inside The Cat in the Hat.

The table

I LOVED how the cake turned out- some friends of my sisters have a cake business- they do all of our cakes. They are AWESOME and delicious. Seriously the BEST cake I've ever tasted.

I made the girls Thing 1 and Thing 2 cupcakes (and the cupcake stands)!

Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday Reese and Riley.
Happy birthday to you! Yay!!
Waiting patiently on their cupcakes

Riley has her mama's sweet tooth!

YUM!

Our 'like' family. :) Drew, Rach, baby in her belly, Josh, Honey (Carol), Riley, Rockey, Me, Reese, Susan, Tommy, Richey

HOW did we not get a Bromley pic?? (My fam) We'll have to do a reenactment!

Fun with friends

We are so blessed!

Besties Rach and Susan
"Uncle" Mommy (aka Tommy) is so fun!

Riley seriously hammed it up for the solid 2 hours. She loved having friends and family all around her. She loved all the SUGAR, balloons, and FUN. :)

Reese had so much fun too. I loved watching them enjoy their party.

Saturday 9/4 is their real birthday. I can't believe it!! We plan on stopping by the NICU to bring the nurses some treats to thank them for our daughters' lives. Because of many answered prayers and those AMAZING nurses and doctors, our girls are ALIVE, healthy, and TWO. Thank you, Father for the blessing of Reese Abigail and Riley Grace!!

Looks like Thing 1 and Thing 2 had a FANTASTIC party. You did an amazing job on everything. Makes me want to get in the party decorating mood!!!
And about MDO...I'm seriously stressing out and not wanting Tuesday to come. If only we lived closer (so that we could shop and have a drink)!

Love love the decor. It looks like you spent months working on it and everything matched perfectly. Great idea and it looks like the girls had a blast. Give them a HB squeeze from the one month and one day older Key girls!
