Sugar and Spice birthday!
/
My precious girl...
my SUGAR and my SPICE...
is turning two on Christmas Eve!
Yesterday we celebrated with a few family and friends,
and so I wanted to share a little of the party with you!
I couldn't help but think of the Sugar and Spice theme,
because it truly describes my
up-and-coming two- year-old!
We had a great time due to amazing help from my mom, my mother-in-law,
my sweet friend Jessi who came in town, and my hubby!
Lord knows this bout-to-pop preggo mama needed all the help I could get.
I maybe should not have put on a party in my state,
but I just HAD to celebrate my little girl,
and make it all about her,
especially before her world gets rocked with a new baby any day!
we made "sugar skewers" and "spice skewers",
and they were so yummy!!
we also had some fudge, spicy cheese krispies, grape jelly meatballs,
puppy chow, tortilla rolls, sugar and spice pecans,
and of course cake!
some juice boxes, sparkling grape juice, water...
and some vino and beer for the parents!
I put a few sweet pics of her around,
which made my heart just melt every time I saw them.
the sweetest thing happened during the party...
starting with one of her bff's Caden (Jessi's little boy who came in town),
kid after kid came up and gave Abigail a big hug.
it was PRECIOUS!
...lots of birthday love for my sweet girl...
in leiu of gifts,
we asked for people to bring books to donate to a children's hospital,
(more on that in a different post)...
bc we are trying to teach Abigail that "stuff" is not important
and that giving to others IS.
But of course, the grandparents had to bring a few gifts for their baby girl...
she loved opening the packages as much as the gifts themselves!
She got some new "runny shoes"
(running shoes), and just LOVED
trying them on and modeling them for all of us.
(SUCH a girl...look at that little pose!)
It was a SWEET party...
and I can't wait for the actual day on Saturday!
My birthday girl is getting extra special hugs and cuddles this week...
It's her last week of being ONE,
(isn't it cute to say someone is "one"?! we LOVE that!)
and possibly her last week of being MY only one.
{tears!}
Happy Birthday week Abigail!
that was my lovely - here's some more lovely for you:
