Puppy Dog PAW-TY

Here is Emma's 2nd birthday party. Scott made this picture of her at birth, one years old, and now to see just how much she has grown and changed in two short years.
We had her birthday party at a local gymnastics place. She went to a party there this past summer and loved it so we knew from that day that her birthday party would be there. This sign was given to us when I was pregnant. We used it last year and again this year. It was hung on the door that led inside the gymnastics place.
This balloon was tied to the chair Emma sat at to eat.
Here is our table. We went all out for her first birthday party. We did not have to do much with this one, but still wanted to make it cute and fun!
Her cupcakes were made to look like puppy hair and then she added a puppy paw print on top. They were cute and tasted amazing!
Here is her cake. I told the lady that made it that I trusted her and she could design it however she wanted to and she made it match the invitations. I loved it!! We have found our go to lady for cupcakes/cookies/cakes from now on! :) Everyone bragged on how cute they were and how good they tasted.
Just a close up of the cake design.
Once guests started to arrive, the kids all went out to play. They had such a blast for the hour of play time. 
That is Emma's school friend, Brooks and my friends daughter, Avery with Emma in their special castle the coaches made for them. 
Here is another school friend, Caroline.
Stephanie is Scott's cousin.
 Brooks was drooling and some fell on Emma. She was not too thrilled about it. Ha!
Here is sweet Jaxon. They are church friends. 
This is Kenley. Her mom and I were due on the same date. Emma was born January 6th and Kenley came January 8th- both due to being induced! They did not want to leave the womb!!
This is Avery's sister Hadley.
Sweet sweet Abby met Emma at school and her and I work together- right across the hall from each other. :)
Emma loved climbing on this fort and going down the slide. She did this about fifty times. Not even kidding!!
Sweet Brooks again!
Jaxon's sister Kylan was swinging on the rope swing. 
This is Iris. Her mom and I have been friends for sixteen years now. We grew up in church together. 
Then it was time for cake/cupcakes, cheetos, and ice cream. Emma was already snacking on her cheeto. She was looking at the cake as I was bringing it to her. 
The time was perfect because the kids were starting to get hungry from playing so hard. 
We started singing to Emma and I guess when she heard everyone say her name, she got nervous and bashful. She wanted me to hold her. She has been practicing blowing out the candles at home, but did not want to do it in front of everyone so I got the honor. :)



My cousin's little girl Adaleigh.
After everyone ate and then we opened presents. 
Emma was too busy so I opened them and would give her a present every so often to play with while I opened some more. 



 She was one tired girl after her big paw-ty. After the presents were opened she wanted her juice. This was the last picture Scott took of the party. She had a blast!! 
She was showing off her new TOMS my mom gave her for her birthday. :)
Mommy and Daddy love you so much sweet girl!! HAPPY 2ND BIRTHDAY! :)
