Cressey’s 2nd Birthday

We had Cressey’s second birthday party on the afternoon of Saturday, April 7th, and since she’s awestruck by Bubble Guppies (“bubbies”), we went all out with all things Bubble Guppies, mermaids, and under the sea. She also loves to “jumpie,” so we had a bounce house. Also, Mrs. Rainbow built a huge balloon arch and stayed to paint faces and make balloon animals. HG and I painted a Bubble Guppies corn hole board, and we had a Bubble Puppy pinata and photo booth.
Last year, we had a beautiful spring day for her party, but this year, it was a nice, “balmy,” 30 degree-day with a few flakes in the early morning air. By party time, it had warmed up 10 degrees maybe, but Cress and HG didn’t seem to notice the cold because they were outside jumping from when it was delivered at 9 a.m. until they took it away around 6 p.m., albeit in hats and gloves! Cressey was shy about being sung to, but otherwise, she seemed to love being the center of the party.

To say she was happy would be an understatement

Seems to be a tradition that we spend the morning after Cressey’s party sitting on the kitchen counter, snacking on Whimsy cookies or cake!
