Cruella Deville, Nana and Spike come to visit and Kennedy's 2nd Birthday Party!

Warning! This is one of all those all over the place random posts, so bear with me!

 

Friday was an awesome day! It was "Book Character Dress Up Day" at the school I teach at. I was dressed as Cruella Deville and the rest of the third grade team dressed as my Dalmations. Ya'll, my hair was insane! My co-worker Shannon teased it and put baby powder in it. It took a lot of conditioner to get it out but it was worth it. The kids loved it! The kids went all out with their costumes as well. I have to be careful about putting student's pictures on the blog but my friend Becky's twins, Luke and Ella are in my class this year and they were dressed as Jack and Annie from The Magic Treehouse series, so adorable! The fourth grade team was dressed as the Grinch and the Who's from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and one of our 5th grade teachers was dressed as the Magic School Bus. They took a picture of her "running over" the Grinch, absolutely hysterical!

 

 

Meanwhile, Kennedy was so excited that her Nana and Spike were coming all the way from Oregon for her birthday and Thanksgiving! So excited that she wore her Oregon Ducks shirt to school that day!

 

 

Saturday was the day of Kennedy's 2nd birthday party. Mommy and Nana took Kennedy to the park that morning and wore her out so she would nap good before her party!

 

 

 

Kennedy had a blast at her party. As always, I was a bad mom and took hardly any pictures. Honestly though, I am so glad that I was just running around having fun with Kennedy and soaking up every moment. I still think next year I may hire someone to come take pictures though because  we hardly have any pictures of her playing with her friends or her cousins at the party. We rented a bounce house this year which was a big hit with the kids. Oh and the décor? If you have been reading my blog for awhile, you know that's just not my thing. All the decorations came from Party City. It was a Minnie Mouse theme so very easy to find. For the food, we had "Hot diggity dogs" (pigs in a blanket), Daisy's Fruit and Vegetable Garden (fruit and veggies with dips), "Goofy's Gooey Dip" (cake batter dip with animal crackers) and "Plutato Chips and Dip"  (cheddar bacon ranch dip and chips)  Here are some of the few pictures we did get that turned out okay:

 

 

We are so blessed to have so many friends and family that we were there to celebrate our baby girl's 2nd birthday. She is one loved little girl!

 

Today is a rainy Sunday and we are relaxing around the house. Kennedy and Spike are playing with her new set of bangles that her friend Asher got her for her birthday. I will leave you with this hysterical picture. Spike looks really thrilled, right?

 

 

Have a great week everyone!
