Virginia's Second Birthday

After weeks of planning it was finally time to head to LaGrange this past weekend to celebrate a very special girl. Birthdays are a big deal in my family most of the time. As we have gotten older, they are not  celebrated with a big bash as much, but with family and are slightly more low key. However, this little girl is one to be celebrated....and that she was this weekend! A few of us headed up on Thursday and the festivities began on her actual birthday which was on Friday!

((Warning....lots of pictures!))
Cheesin' with Aunt Amy
This girl loves to jump and has finally mastered actually getting some air!! :) 
Cookin' in her new kitchen!
We kicked off the day by heading to Monkey Joe's....
Monkey Joe's is an indoor play place full of huge inflatables, slides, etc. Look at this face....she LOVES it!!
Hey mom!
After Virginia was done playing, all the adults were wiped out, we headed to Virginia's favorite restaurant....."Chick Lay"
We went to the Dwarf House which is a Chick-Fil-A where you can sit down and order and you don't have to do the fast food thing. Same thing really but there are more options and you are served...
We actually went on cow appreciation day so this little peanut loved seeing the cow...
Cheeseburger!!!
Enjoying a little birthday ice cweam....

After a little shopping, we headed home to put her down for a nap. When she woke up there was more celebrating!! We ate dinner and she got to have an M&M cookie.
So excited for her "tweat"!

After V went to sleep we began setting up for her Minnie Mouse birthday party! Here are some pictures of the decor....

  2. Hey Laura! What an adorable birthday girl and minnie party! I love how you guys hung a "dish towel" on her new kitchen, too cute! I'm going to have to pull out an old monogrammed burp cloth of Ella Claire's for her kitchen. She loves taking my dish towels down. :) Thanks for sharing all of your cute pictures!
