Ladybug Birthday Party!

Okay, so this is going to be picture overload, but I worked so hard on this party (and all of my helpers too!) and I loved how it turned out, so now is my chance to show it off!! The girls are absolutely in love with "bee-bugs" (ladybugs) and I just love planning and creating parties (I'm not sure everyone involved loves me planning!) so thus an awesome "bee-bug" party was born!

We had 50 of our closest friends and family to a "play cafe" here in town for the girls' Ladybug themed 2nd Birthday party! The party was a brunch, complete with 10 different homemade quiches (thanks to Grammy), bagels, fruit salad, pastries, tea sized PB&J for the kids and much more! The adults had mimosas and bloody marys, while the kids enjoyed milk or apple juice in the ladybug sippy cups that I made with every child's name. We had a dessert table complete with a 2 tiered ladybug cake, individual bug cakes for the girls', cupcakes, chocolate covered rice crispy treats, chocolate covered oreos on a stick, and frosted sugar cookies! Yummy!!

The kids, adults and especially the birthday girls had an absolute blast! Not unlike a wedding that you've planned for for years, the party flew by in what seemed like a minute and then all of the hard work and planning was over! But, at least I have the fabulous pictures and memories and hopefully some day the girls will appreciate looking back at them!

And last, but certainly not least, Macy and her cake! She attacked this cake and ate almost the whole thing! It was hilarious!
I hope that you enjoyed these pictures as much as I do! I cannot believe that tomorrow morning, my babies will be 2 years old. They look so grown up in these pictures and really are turning into little girls! What an amazing 2 years!

  1. Beyond adorable! I might have to email you for some "how-tos" for Natalie's 2nd bday part in October. Ladybugs...such a great idea!
