If the first birthday was all about Elmo, the second birthday was all about Mickey Mouse. Brianne loves Mickey, so the decorations we did have were all Mickey. Brianne even had her own set of Minnie ears!
The party was a little out of order, and had us opening presents after dinner. Brianne got tons of great presents, but her favorite was probably her princess crown and jewelry set. Here is Brianne putting on her crown, which she wore the rest of the night.
Fun with party blowers. She couldn't quite figure it out, but had a blast trying!
After presents, it was time to sing Happy Birthday and have some cake. Here is Brianne enjoying a cupcake, while wearing her princess crown.
Marty was very excited to show Brianne her big birthday gift, which was a playground. We live in a town house, and have a postage stamp-size patio, so the playground was set up at Grandma Mimi and Grandpa Monroe's house. The playground came unassembled, and at first, Marty thought he could build it himself. But he thought better of it, and hired a professional company to set it up. It took a team of professionals with previous experience building playgrounds two full days to build this playground. Marty probably would have lost a limb if he had tried to do it himself.
This is a super cool playground with swings, a rock climbing wall, a club house and a slide. The playground is a little big for her, so Brianne is content to swing on the swings for now.
Brianne trying out the bottom story of the club house. It actually has a built in bar with stools, in case she wants to serve her friends some mock-tails.
Brianne's party actually happened on July 16 (Saturday night), as Grandma Mimi and Grandpa Monroe went on a cruise on July 17 (her real birthday). So here is a picture of Brianne on her actual birthday. I tried to get her to sit nicely in her chair to take a special picture, but she was having none of it. This was the best I could do. But she still looks adorable!
