Well, Mommy tried to stop time, but was unsuccessful, so our little Sprout turned TWO YEARS OLD. She had been telling us for months, whenever we asked her, that she wanted "Elmo cupcakes" for her birthday. We certainly couldn't deny her her one birthday wish. So, this year's party theme was, of course, The Street. There were lots of festivities and lots of happy birthday wishes, and definitely lots of zesty gifts. For those of you who couldn't be with us to celebrate, here is a glimpse of the fun.
In all his glory, the star of the show, ELMO!
Grandma and Grandpa's gift was all put together and waiting at the bottom of the stairs when Rylee came down the morning of her party. It was (understatement of the year) a BIG HIT!
The boys even got into the action
She loved it so much, she hugged it...
Our budding artiste
Some of her best buddies came to her party. Here she is showing them some love.
I don't know what all those male Hobens are glaring at, but here is the spread for her big bash
And then Memaw wheeled in the Wagon o' Presents!! (Rylee helped, of course)
Her very own laptop! (Good thing she had some volunteers closeby to help her figure out how to use it)
These multi-talented volunteers also showed her a thing or two about unwrapping (Shhh... it's a Bubble Mower!)
Zoom zoomin her brand, new SUV!
Elmo cupcake success! (and mess)
Loading up her new shopping cart with groceries
She gets her shopping instincts from her Mommy
Helping Daddy put together Aunt Mary's awesome gift....
....still waiting on Daddy to finish....
... a TRICYCLE!
Getting a few tips from her big brother
And last, but certainly not least...
"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, can we put it together now Daddy??!"
We fear she may never come inside the house again...
She loves this water table so much, she tried to get in.
All in all, a great birthday for our big girl. Thanks to all for helping make it extra special.
