Meredith's Birthday Party!

Meredith took part in the baking festivities on Friday to help prep for her 2nd Birthday Party on Saturday!

She was super cute, pouring and stirring....

and licking!

 

Yum!

When making the cupcakes, I left Lucas and Meredith unattended for a SECOND!

I came back to see them double dipping their beater.

I'll never tell which flavor it was!

We made 48 cupcakes, minus a few that we "taste tested".

The dessert table!

Richard had a moot court to participate in Saturday morning, so I was left alone to finish last minute prep!

Luckily, my family arrived early to help with slicing, icing drinks and firing up the grill!

My grandfather grilled 28 burgers and 16 hot dogs on our tiny charcoal grill! 

Along side it, we had baked beans, pasta salad, coleslaw, fruit and chips!

(Sorry for no photos, I was really busy!)

The littles really enjoyed dining on the new picnic table!

After lunch, we pulled out bubbles while everyone made room in their tummies for cake!

Meredith LOVES bubbles! 

Everyone had fun trying out the new bubble wands

(Richard had been begging for - AND I did not pay $6 for).

We also tried out our new bubble bucket! 

How many ways can I say AWESOME!  If you have kids, you need one. 

No spills, no trouble, fabulous!

We finally pulled Meredith away from blowing bubbles to blow out her giant candle!

She was in complete AWE that everyone was singing to her! 

She was incredibly sweet.

After eating her cupcake, Meredith ran up to her presents...

Some of my favorite photos follow....

She opened up nearly every present saying "Oh Boy!"

Clapping with her new Kai-lan

Decked out in her jewels and shades.

Meredith had a wonderful birthday! 

She was very blessed to have such wonderful company and to have soooo many cool gifts!

Thank you to everyone who came! 

And Happy Birthday Meredith!
