LadyBear posing for the cameras...
We celebrated LadyBear turning two this weekend with a butterfly garden party here at the house. LadyBear loves butterflies and gardens, so this seemed like a fitting and fun theme for a party. Thank you, Pinterest, for all the ideas of what to do for the party!
Party food and cake, along with my cat grass centerpieces...Orbit was thrilled!
Another thing my kids both love is to dress-up and so I decided to make them butterfly wings to wear for the party. After those went together pretty quick, I thought it might make a fun favor for the kids who came to the party. Thankfully all the kids seemed to like them!
LadyBear was excited about the wings for her and her friends...
Our family and friends showed up in force to celebrate LadyBear and (I think) we all had a good time! We pretended we were eggs, caterpillars, chrysalides and then butterflies...
Some of our butterflies...
Then we guessed who was which kind of butterfly (Monarchs were the only kind we had two of). Then we played throw the butterfly into the flower (aka glass pie plate)...
The smaller kiddos got to stand closer to the flower...
She was so proud of herself the first time she made one in!
The bigger kiddos had to stand further back...
We also wrapped the kids in toilet paper and called it a chrysalis!
Daddy wrapping LadyBear...
Afterwards, some of us just got silly with the TP...
Then we sang happy birthday and ate applesauce spice cake, pretzels, apple slices, carrots/ranch while chatting amongst ourselves...
singing "Happy birthday to you..."
blowing out her candle with Daddy...
Pick your proboscis (adults too!)
I also had flower prints scattered around from an old book to help show the "garden" part of the party...
Happy birthday, LadyBear!!! We love you!!!
