Elmo helps Lola & Ellie celebrate 2 years!

Yesterday we had a family BBQ to help Lola and Ellie celebrate their 2nd Birthday (That's right their 2nd birthday, I can't believe it either). Elmo and Cookie Monster stopped by to help them celebrate too!

Elmo invasion...I had so much fun making all these decoration, a circle cutter does wonders!


We had the perfect day for their party!
So why is Lola crying, I guess it's her party she can cry if she wants to!
Ellie was excited, she looks like such a big girl.
Earlier in the afternoon the girls helped pick out flowers, they love smelling flowers!
They worked together peeling off some of the decor even before the guest came!
(p.s. look at their long hair, where did that come from?)
Yeah, the guests are here!

LUNCH TIME
Classic BBQ

DESERT TIME!!!
I made the girls cake. I uses a fruit roll-up and a cookie cutter to make the Elmo topping. I am not sure the girls even noticed, they were too focused on the act of eating the cake!
They had real candles this year...such big girls!
They needed a little help blowing them out!
YUMMM
Aiden liked the cupcakes too!
Classic...can't get much happier than that, right Lola?
PRESENT TIME!
Lola preferred the gift bags to the brand new purse she received... go figure!
Just look at that smile.
They got tons of new books!
The also got new sandals, a Juicy Couture sweat outfit, and broom. Ellie is sporting the new cloths while helping mom clean up!
What a fun day... and their actually birthday is still four days away. At least I can say they are just one for four more days (even though Ellie refers to herself as "2 months old")
Happy Birthday Girls, Hope You Enjoyed Your Party.
