Maisy’s 2nd Birthday Celebrations

Maisy’s Birthday weekend started on Saturday with a get together at Me-mew’s house to celebrate her & her cousin Samuel’s birthdays!

There were water guns and bubbles, Daddy’s taking care of babies,

We sang Happy Birthday…

And then there was a meltdown!  Apparently someone does NOT like being the center of attention

027

She bounced back quickly though in just enough time to blow out her candle, make a wish, and stuff her face!

Everyone joined in on that yumminess!

Then it was present time and she loved all her fun stuff!  Especially all her Bubble Guppies and Princess goodies!

A party that ends with a pool full of people in their underwear HAD to have been a good time, right?!

(look at these little love taps going on!)

The Birthday girl had a great day and we all had fun celebrating her!!

Sunday we had another birthday celebration for her, a lunch at Yaya’s house!  Yaya wanted to treat her girl to a princess party!

She loved being treated like a princess, but unfortunately I think it went to her head a little!

She had another “moment” when we sang to her, this really opened my eyes to the fact that she is just like her Daddy in this aspect!

Mommy & Brother came to her rescue to take some of the attention off of her and get her through the rest of the song!  (or maybe we all just sing really bad?!)

Okay, I know this is crazy, but Maisy got her own ipad mini from Yaya & Paw-Paw.  Brother has one and she absolutely loves playing on it.  She’s great with the puzzles and there are so many learning apps out there, that we figured we could stop all the wars going on in our house and just get her one.  She was one happy little birthday princess, that’s for sure!

And waiting outside for her was her very own Princess Cruiser!  What a little Diva, Ryder was driving her around because she would not let go of the ipad, in fear that it wouldn’t really be her own anymore!

Ryder pinning the tail on the donkey, no he’s not cheating at all!

Aunt Jess knew that Maisy needed some quiet time, so the princess got a nice long wagon ride to unwind!

Monday was her actual birthday, so she had cupcakes at Nana’s during the day and got to pick her birthday dinner that evening.  She wanted Macaroni & Cheese and fruit snacks!

I love celebrating this little girl!  As hard as I know the 2nd year of her life will be, I wouldn’t trade a single moment.
