Eli had a FABULOUS time at his "ball-themed" 2nd birthday party!
The decorations were fairly simple ~ lots of blue and green stripes and dots.
We decided this year to start by showing pictures of the little man each year he's been with us,
I loved this and plan to add on each year!
Rather than do a cake (E's not a huge fan), we made a cake pop cake of baseballs.
Thankfully, G kindly agreed to do the decorating of the pops!
They were a huge hit!
When E saw them this morning, he yelled "pop" as he grabbed one and stuck it in his mouth.
Way too cute ;-)
We also decorated with pictures of Eli as a newborn and added decorations to the water bottles that said "Thanks for bouncing over for Eli's 2nd Birthday!"
Party favors were bouncy balls and yummy chocolate "Sixlets"
Eli could not have had more fun! We got him a bag of 250 balls, which he LOVED!!! He was ripping the tissue paper simply to show everyone how strong he was when he noticed the bag of balls inside ~ his reaction was priceless! He then proceeded to share the balls with everyone ~ Ava getting the most.
We also made him a sandbox (with tons of help from Uncle Danny ~ huge thanks to him!)
At first, he wasn't sure what to think and when he got in, he informed us it was "dirty" ~ silly boy,
but soon he was having a blast with his new trucks and balls in the sand.
He also thought the seat made a fun thing to jump from!
There will be a much longer post and many, many more pictures to come but the birthday boy is up from his nap so I must go enjoy my brand new two year old ;-)
It was a wonderful party and the birthday boy was soooo excited. He sure loved the balls, trucks, and, eventually, even the "dirty" sandbox ~ that was just too cute! Alli was such a helpful big sister and certainly found just the right present ~ an Elmo ball! Great party.
