Since the blog is now up to date, with this entry I give you Maggie Kate's 2nd birthday party! I desperately tried to talk Maggie Kate into a fabulous hot pink Minnie Mouse party! I'm talking mouse ears for everyone! But all she could talk about was, "I have Elmo cake, ok?"! Fortunately for my brother Bruce (he was Elmo, and I dare say he wouldn't have let me dress him up as Minnie Mouse), an Elmo themed 2nd birthday party it was!
Maggie Kate's 2nd Birthday!
As usual, details and links of my fav party items will be below some of the pictures!
I absolutely loved the invitations! They managed to be pretty while still having Elmo on them! I took a risk and looked on Etsy, because that was the only place I could find a custom Elmo invitation. I found them at www.asapinvites.etsy.com, and the scanned in version I've posted does not do it justice! They looked awesome! For a small fee I could have bought the digital file and printed them myself, but I opted to have the seller print them for me and the price was very reasonable!
The Birthday Girl....in her new car! She spotted it as soon as she walked in the door!
The best picture I could get ALL DAY of her Elmo birthday outfit! I also found it on Etsy, from a sweet lady in Georgia. Here is a link to her shop....http://www.etsy.com/shop/gigibabies.
This picture cracks me up! I promise, she was in no pain, and she was actually having a blast! There will be another picture after this one, to prove it! LOL!
See! All smiles!

(again...Bruce was the best Elmo EVER!!!)
This one makes me laugh too!
(Thomas, Crystal, Ayda, Noah....Again I promise no one was in pain! Bahahahaha!)
I am in love with this Elmo cake! It turned out great! A big thanks to Heather at Gretchen's ABS Cakes, for dreaming this up! I literally handed her the invitation, and said please make it pretty! LOL! And they did! Here is a link to their website, http://abscakes.com/.
Ps....Gretchen holds a special place in my heart, because not only have she and my mother been friends for years, but she also made our wedding cake! We love Gretchen and Heather and all the beautiful cakes they create!!!
Loved our matching smash cake too!
The party was at Pump It Up! All kinds of jumpies and slides and a party room!
Here is a link to their website, http://www.pumpitupparty.com/sc/greenville/home-p1q106.htm, and they also offer play days during the week for everyone to come jump!
The Elmo party supplies all came from Party City on Woodruff Road! Festive, I know! LOL!
Maggie Kate's party hat! I loved this, and I wish she had too! But she would not leave it on for more than 30 seconds! I found this on Etsy as well! Yes, I'm beginning to love Etsy! All things Elmo, can be found on Etsy! Here is a link to the Etsy shop where I purchased our birthday hat, http://www.etsy.com/shop/bloomnbows?ref=seller_info.
Favor Buckets! I got the idea from Pinterest, and I loved how these turned out!
I personalized the favor buckets with these stickers! I bought the round blank stickers from Staples, and then bought a digital file from a shop on Etsy for $5. The shop owner then emailed my personalized sheet of images that I printed off at home! Here is where I found them, http://www.etsy.com/shop/PJsPrintables.
Eating pizza with her favorite person Ella!

Maggie Kate is one loved little person! A big thanks to everyone who came and made her day so very special!
Til' Next Time.....
That's it for now! I didn't post any Maggie Kate 2 year stats.....because we haven't got there yet! We got a nasty cold and ear infection a couple of days after our 2nd birthday party! Worst. Birthday. Present. EVER!!! So we will go in a week or so for a check up on our ears and do our 2 year well check then. Let's just hope we are actually "well"! So til' next time my friends.....may the kiddie germs be few, and the hand sanitizer be plenty!!! ;-)
