Birthday Girl - Party #1

Tomorrow is Cora's 2nd birthday! But due to some travel plans, we've decided to do two small parties - one for my side of the family who live nearby and then another for Williams family since we will be visiting anyway. So what kind of party do we have? Elmo, of course! This little girl loves some Sesame Street! So that decision was pretty easy. We had a great time with our neighbors and my dad and brother. Cora definitely understood cake and present time! We just love our little girl!



We started out the day by going to Toys-R-Us!  They gave her a balloon and she got to pick out some toys from Great Grandma Bell.  William also picked out our gift - a swing set!  pics of that to come later.



We had a pizza and cupcake party!  I made the cupcakes myself, from scratch.  Wish I could have gone all out and down an elmo face in complete icing but alas not enough time or patience.  The plastic rings did just fine! 



Cora was so cute when we sang "happy birthday" to her! She tried so hard to sing along.. All that came out was "Happy to you"!
