Two Years Old Already!!!

Rylan turned two this week and we celebrated with a Puppy Party. We had friends and family join us in the fun. Now some people, okay most people, would say I went a little overboard, but my excuse is that I didn't get to have a big party for his 1st birthday, so I pushed the envelope this time and had way too much fun. I love planning parties, especially those for my children.

Rylan and Payton started out the party sleeping

Our puppy theme went much further than just a puppy invitation and decorations. It was complete with puppy ears, tails, dog collars, a doghouse facade, a puppy cake and dog bone decorated cupcakes, and much more. We started out by decorating the kids in their puppy get up. They made (or their parents made) a dog collar with a dog tag including their name. I quickly found out that my son, the birthday boy, wanted nothing to do with the puppy dress- up (he is such a boy), but of course my daughter was all about it. Even the tongue hanging out of the mouth.

Rylan got a lot of very nice gifts and has been enjoying them with total enthusiasm today. He finished opening gifts by giving kisses and hugs out. Although all of the balls that were around the room proved to be very distracting for him during this process.

We all sang "Happy Birthday" to Rylan and then enjoyed my delicious cake with homemade frosting. Of course, the kids loved the cake and icecream much more than dinner. I, personally, just enjoyed the wonderful company and conversations. Thanks so much to everyone that helped us celebrate Rylan's Birthday.

We have come to the tail end my friends!
